DYNAMIC-WIND vs. multi-processing
If DYNAMIC-WIND should be used only for
dynamic binding I suggest that we should either say so in the
description or just scrap it in favor of an explicit dynamic binding
construct.
The problem with this is that fluids are not really sufficient in an
operating system. You also have things that must be done when
switching users, such as changing the states of I/O buffers and
interlocks. I really don't see how you can make an operating system
without such a thing.
