Yes they're limited in scope, but that scope can be pretty much an 
entire file.  If the scope of a class is bigger than one or two 
screenfuls, then flagging members can be helpful.  If it's a tiny class 
where you can see the whole thing on one page, then I agree, 
differentiating members from parameters and locals is less useful.
