Re: dynamic Bindings

Real dynamic bindings should be thread-local.  Currently, there is
only one way to achieve this in Guile:

(define doit (make-fluid))
(fluid-set! doit (lambda () (display "global\n")))

(define some-code '((fluid-ref doit)))

(define (dynamic code)
  (with-fluids ((doit (lambda () (display "local\n"))))
    (eval code)))

(dynamic some-code)
