It would be nightmarish to make it fundamental to the language (sadistic, too).  We all agree that forethoughting is a general solution except for the forethoughting part and that the usual afterthought devices won't work (unless you mean those three-levels-up --and two-places--over types that are even less practical than straight back-counting).
