So far, the only real shortcoming in the initial design was revealed by the 
put() semantics, and was fixed with that PR that transmitted scope-ness through 
the first argument.

On the other hand, while it would be great if we could anticipate all second 
order effects, it's unrealistic to always get that right, and no language does.
