So,
(fluid-parameter <fluid>)
has to be syntax because a fluid is a syntactic entity.
The same is valid for "fluidify" ("verflüssigen" in German). It has
to bind a fluid because, at runtime, a fluid is not a value.
What syntax did you have in mind?
Akin to SRFI 212 ("alias"), we can have
(fluidify <fluid> <param-expr>)
which binds <fluid> to the (!) underlying fluid of <param-expr>.
Therefore, no "define-" because there would be no new fluid created:
(define p (make-parameter 'initial))
(fluidify x p)
(fluidify y p)
(free-identifier=? x y) ; => #t
(eqv? (fluid-parameter x) p))
(eqv? (fluid-parameter y) p))
Comments?
