It seems desirable to provide some way to allow either possible answer to Question 1 (i.e., dynamically scoped or statically scoped ?y).
You can bind its value to a statically scoped variable. IMHO it shoult not be surprising that it's not just an identifier with static visibility. Since it needs not to be statically visible in a top level definition, it's normal that it applies its scoping rules in local definitions too. Why would it magically turn into an ordinary identifier for inner scopes? It dynamically appears in each place it is used. -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTÊPCZA QRCZAK
