Call this test.py:

abc = 5
global abc
abc = 6

It is probably illegal to have a global at the top-
level but the error message prdocued is:

SyntaxWarning: name 'abc' is assigned to before global 
declaration

That's technically true but the real problm is that 
global statements should not be allowed outside of 
functions.
