I have such a language (obviously) for my class -- it's not difficult
to do, but the resulting language is (obviously) an extremely bad
one...
(What people *probably* want is something like CL, where you can
declare a specific variable as special -- and then when you use it in
a `let' or as a function argument, that binding is done dynamically.
Doable too, probably, but little point IMO.)
