One option might be to get rid of the ':globalflags...' tagged arguments 
and all the actions and instead only rely on the ':flags' tagged argument 
for fileinto and keep. I believe that gets rid of the need to have any 
variables during the lifetime of the script, and provides a basic 
implementation that can be built on later if variables are introduced.

I agree with this.  :globalflags mostly bothered me with respect to
variables.
