When would local variables make sense?  These are the panel subroutines
for an application controller.  It seems to me that you're making up
hypothetical cases to try and justify a pretty inflexible position
("SUBROUTINES ARE BAD!"), rather than looking for reasons why someone
would use one or the other.

And if all it takes to turn a subroutine into a procedure is a few lines
of code, I guess I can live with that if I ever need to do it.  But I've
been writing this sort of application for many years now, and I've never
had to reuse a panel routine.
