C# has "from a closure, anywhere up the tree" and "an import from an other file" though, the only thing it arguably doesn't have is "a global".

Technically you can use the `with` statement to make it implicit in javascript.
You should not, but you can.

Yes, local variables are non-member variables. I'm just pointing out that people's habits may have been built in JavaScript or the like, where a non-member variable could be:
- a global
- from a closure, anywhere up the tree
- an import from another file
Whether or not the explicitness is still important in C# code, it's at least much more important in JavaScript and Python code (in fact I'm pretty sure both languages require it)
