    I think it is surprising you would embrace this "feature". It means
either the library "variables" are mutable or have a sort of dynamic scope.
By the latter, I mean that if I reference a certain standard library when
writing a library, that's the one that's in lexical scope.
     So are library variables really mutable in this fashion in this draft?
If so, it seems inconsistent.
