Not really. In terms of my personal energy, it was absolutely trivial to entertain this discussion so far. And as far as I'm concerned, such discussions are important before just leaping off in some direction that's expensive to pursue. But if you're ready to "just do something," by all means do it. There's a CMake lexical scoping paradigm just waiting to be implemented that we already had a long discussion about. I'm not talking about that because as far as I'm concerned, we already said what needed to be said. I do think Pau's idea about using a few special characters to distinguish variable name scope has merit, but I will let others debate the pros and cons of it. Frankly, I see it as a race between the supposed ease of improving the CMake language, and the demonstrated ease of slapping Lua into it. With provisios about whether we really want straight Lua; at present I don't, so I'm inclined towards more work.
