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.
