    No need to try: the boundp test is still needed to catch the case of
    a variable defined globally in all cases (e.g. in C code or in preloaded
    packages) as well as for variables defined in packages that are
    `require'd (or loaded transitively by some of the `require'd packages).

Would you please fill in the gaps in that argument?
I don't see why it is needed for those.  Shouldn't those
variables be defvar'd?
