Dammit.

Actually, nevermind.  I'm not fully thinking through the scope smashing.  We could just create a scope for each of the function implementations…

Those would inline into this…

function foobar(a: count)
        {
       	{
	local test = "nope";
	print test;
	}
	{
	local test = "yup";
	print test;
	}
	}

The only problem is that this doesn't currently work, but it begs the question… should it?
