I'm trying out nested functions and get a warning in my for-
loops:
Outer index '.' is set inside of a child function.
Thanks to the shared workspace it is possible to destroy
these indices. Can I specify that a variable should become
specific for a function and not shared? An easy solution is
of course to rename the index, but I'd rather have the
regular i,j,k etc.

There's no way besides changing the name to limit the scope of the
variable. Except... you can force it to be local in the nested function
if you pass it in as an input. But this makes the calling syntax quite
artificial.

and that's one of the reasons why i don't like implicit variable
declarations. apart from the occasional typo resulting in hard to find
errors...
