Re: First-class environment proposal

> - Primitive: env-define ENV SYMBOL VALUE

What if:

guile> (define env (let ((x 1) (y 2)) (let ((xx 1) (yy 2)) (the-environment))))
guile> env
(#<environment > ((yy xx) 2 1) ((y x) 2 1))

Should (environment-define env 'xxx '12) extend the local environment
or should it extend the top level environment.

At the moment 

(let ((x 12) (y 13)) (environment-define (the-environment) 'x 100))

extends the top level environment but I don't know if that's a clever
idea.
