A lexical plus an accessor method, when the accessor method does
nothing more than get or set the value with no checks or anything,
is just a slow and cumbersome global variable.
I don't understand the rush to remove global variables. Why are they
such a blight? If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em. But don't make
me give them up. They make things easy for me.
