Non-Strict Vs Strict

Just a few quick examples of Non-Strict and Strict Code:

*** Non-Strict: ***

This fails with "Identifier 'x' not found":

Function Main()
	x = 1
End

This compiles:

Function Main()
	local x
	x = 1
End

*** Strict: ***

This fails with "Syntax error":

Strict

Function Main() ' <--- Error here
	x = 1
End

This fails with "Identifier 'x' not found":

Strict

Function Main:Int()
	x = 1
End

This fails with "Syntax error":

Strict

Function Main:Int()
	local x ' <--- Error here
	x = 1
End

This fails with "Missing return expression":

Strict

Function Main:Int()
	local x:Int
	x = 1
End

This compiles:

Strict

Function Main:Int()
	local x:Int
	x = 1
	return 0
End

Much obliged.

I am wanting to stay within the restrictions of Strict, so yes, very useful.
