In other words, dynamically scoped variables (instead of or
in addition to to statically scoped ones)

I agree, this be a very handy feature.  Older versions of Lisp,
including Emacs Lisp, worked this way, and although dynamic
scope has largely fallen out of favor Common Lisp and R5RS Scheme
provide this as an option (I think they're called "special"
variables in Lisp).
