    I would like to point out that you are discussing the implementation
    details of "globals" before we have agreed what "globals" are.  There
    were several interpretations of "globals" floating around on the mail
    and no resolution of which one we were talking about.

You are quite right, of course.  In my case that was intentional, but I
failed to make that clear.  I was trying to explicate an alternative
semantics by proposing an implementation (not a specific one, but rather
one tied to DEFCONSTANT).
