Now that I think about it a little more, it makes more and more sense to
have the translator detect that globals are initialized at the script
level, and to block potential setting via module options (by omitting
the MODULE_PARAM goo for those variables). This would remove any ambiguity.
Further, it would help with a background security concern, giving script
authors the ability to *block* staprun users (such as restricted-privileged
staprun people) from overriding selected globals that could change the
precompiled module's behavior.
