With the ability to use dictionary subclasses for local and
global environments, it becomes very easy to implement
execution environments with extended variable semantics for
special purposes.

This includes driving interactive processes, config file
processors, type checking, lazy object construction, and
read-only variables.

As it currently stands, the semantics are inconsistent. The
local case should not have been changed if the global case
was not going to be changed.
