Re: dynamic Bindings; thread-state


What is missing from your proposal are examples of things that
you could do that you cannot (as easily) do using only
thread-aware fluid-let.

Otherwise your proposal loses on the grounds of being more
complicated (for the user, not implementor), and less compatible
with prior art.

Is there any reason (except possibly efficiency) to have a
non-thread-aware fluid-let?
