I don't know what you are talking about. Lisp applications can bind the variable when they need that and not bind when they don't. How this is "all or nothing", I don't know. Besides, the issue is to allow customization of write-region's messages, for which everyone wants that to be done in Lisp. What they do when it is in Lisp is their business.
