It's not as bad as I initially thought; the current-*-port is handled as a special case, so it's actually safe to update them with fluid-let. This could be simplified by using parameters, though. The compiler uses it in a few places to temporarily override the value of a global variable. This is fine, but if we ever decide to turn the compiler into a library, it wouldn't be thread-safe. So this might better be rewritten.
