I have not yet used global_vars=1 in 3+ years of using H::T. I am after
all a coder, and I _expect_ local variables... I'd certainly like to
keep local variables as an option, at least, though most of my templates
don't care.

If so, I am too. Highly useful.

I sometimes think about a "production mode" H::T module that would strip
out all the syntax checking stuff and simply assume that the templates
are valid (thereby running even faster).
