Thinking some more, Kjetil's one-liner about variable scope in the
variables draft makes perfect sense in the context of there being only one
file in a script. It is the include draft that adds more files, and more
potential scopes, and so in the include draft this should be explained and
accounted for.

I withdraw my complaint about the scope detail in the variables draft :-)
