    Switch to global variables instead of special variables. · 7dc76a6c
    Florian Margaine authored 
    As Charles Jackson pointed out in #1, the dynamic scope of special
variables makes no sense for persistent variables; would the
persistence change dynamically, or the stored value changes for every
dynamic scope change, and everything is thrown out of the window as
soon as multithreading enters the picture?

Switching to global variables is a much easier model to work with, as
suggested by Charles.
