I still have to digest this message more to say anything of substance,
but I use fluid-let (i.e. dynamic scoping) quite a lot.

Hm... Accessing the environments isn't *that* hard... But there are no
names (which exist only at compile time) that one could use to look up
the values. The actual "environment" is a change of closure-records of
varying size and mutable lexical vars may be shared (as boxes) among
multiple closures.

Must think about this.
