Nice post! but watch out....

While $=SetOption("Explicit","ON") is easy to fix by using DIM/GLOBAL...

Using $=SETOPTION('NoVarsInStrings','ON') can have even more unforeseen side effects, and in some cases a tricky rewrite of code will be needed, especially if you use such commands like EXECUTE(). I have seen EXECUTE() code that when using Explicit work with Explicit ON but not work with Explicit OFF.
