Not using (a small number of) globals needs either:
* functions that take everthing that they need in arguments.
I tried that 30 years ago and never did it again, functions
with 15 arguments are unweildy &* hard to maintain.
* Use OO.
That means a whole step up in design, not always justified in small
scripts. OO is not always the answer.
