The Problem with Implicit Scoping in CoffeeScript
That makes plenty of sense to me; when do you ever want to leak a for loop counter to an outer scope?

And when do you ever want to leak local variables to an outer scope? Never.
Not to mention that loop counters are no different than other `var`iables in JS.

You do want to sometimes reference outer scope variables from inner scopes, though. The only difference between a leaked local and a properly referenced global is usage semantics.
