running scripts in caller's workspace: tests fail

Hi,

See attached codes for minimal working example.

> isolate test isolate test isolate

Second call to "test isolate" fails.

The isolate() function creates a variable in its caller's workspace,
it then calls the isolate_script in the callers workspace and tries
to print out the value of the new variable.

I filed a bug [https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?42697] about
this.

Why do I care?  I have some code that traverses the caller's
workspace and mangles it a bit.  It a bit of a hack but it does what
I need.  Except my tests all fail b/c of this!  I think I can
workaround it by copy-pasting the script code in a bunch of places,
but thought this might perplex someone else too!

cheers,
Colin
