Module Scope Dim Keyword

Warns about module-level declarations made using the 'Dim' keyword.

 NEW! This inspection is only available in pre-release builds.

Reasoning

Private module variables should be declared using the 'Private' keyword. While 'Dim' is also legal, it should preferably be restricted to declarations of procedure-scoped local variables, for consistency, since public module variables are declared with the 'Public' keyword.
