OK, thanks. The apparent "globalness" is not the piece I want to imitate. I want to make a var available for users to set!, where the var controls overall behavior of how the library operates.
I understand that I can just declare the var dynamic, and then they can control it with the binding construct, but I want users to be able to set! it once and forget about it. I believe one can mimic the functionality with alter-var-root! (I haven't tried it though), but I'd rather imitate core's style of using set! for those sorts of overall controlling variables. I'm generally of the philosophy that ideally, a language should make available for users any features it uses in its own built-in libraries, so I'm hoping there's a way to do it.
