Which actually brings back memories of my COBOL and IBM/360 assembler days.
The mantra then was "everything must be reenterant" so the norm was that
mutable globals were seen as evil.

However, later I worked at a place where assembler abuse was taken to the
artform level - self-modifying code was encouraged!
