By slavapestov:

So I guess 'get' hits the +globals+ singleton at the bottom of the namestack and dispatches on that. Would it be better if the global namespace was not part of the namestack, and 'get' and 'set' messed with it explicitly?

I'm thinking that if someone also implements the optimization where the namestack is stored as an assoc of stacks, it will be easier if the global namespace is special-cased anyway.
