can not find new created global variables inside a function. about boris HOT 1 OPEN

Hmm, yeah, I guess that's confusing. It's expected, since Boris' runloop is running inside a function, which makes it a local variable, not global, unless explicitly declared global.

[1] boris> global $a;
[2] boris> $a = 1;
 → 1
[3] boris> function test() {
[3]     *>   global $a;
[3]     *>   return $a;
[3]     *> }
 → NULL
[4] boris> test();
 → 1
[5] boris>

I could 'fix' it so variables declared within Boris' scope are copied into $GLOBALS, though this could have some unpleasant side-effects too (mostly with GC and cleaning up). I'll have to think about it a bit more.
