	So how would you answer the following:  Since "good"
programmers know better than using free (== global) variables,
the argument between lexical and dynamic scoping is really a
mute point.  The real issue this: Can you exhibit a piece of code
that depends on the scoping rules that can't be coded AS WELL
in a way that doesn't depend on the scoping rules?
