Python happens to work this way:

x = 42
def foo():
x = 32
return x
print foo()
print x

prints 32 followed by 42 (the x remains local to the function).
I've noticed little bits of Python show up in VimScript--such as
array slicing, negative-indexing, and first-class(ish) functions.
Not that I mind, as Python is my preferred language. :-)

There may be others where this scope is the same (pascal comes to mind)
