I don't think this proposal has any chance as long as it's dynamically scoped.
It mightn't be so bad if it were lexically scoped, i.e. a special way of defining a function so that it shares the lexically enclosing scope. This would be implementable, since the compiler has all the necessary information about both scopes available.
Although it might be better to have some sort of "outer" declaration for rebinding in the enclosing scope, instead of doing it on a whole-function basis.
