Summary: variables in procedures

Initial Comment:
The following harmless looking question gives a 
compilation error 
Type error in assignment: field IProc in class 
`aim/TextQuestion` should have type procedure

h> a1:=1;
   f:=x->a1;
t> ?
a> 1
end>

However the following works:

h> a1:=1;
   f:=proc(x) global a1; a1 end proc;
t> ?
a> 1
end>

Is this expected behaviour or a bug?

This problem is caused by a bug in the makeglobal function
in the codegen package, which is (as of Maple 8) deprecated
in favour of the ToInert function and related utilities.  I
therefore propose to do nothing about it until I get around
to rewriting the `aim/Compile` function to use ToInert.
