Fluid variables are a Scheme thing (more, generally, a functional-programming thing). "Dynamically-scoped free variable" would be a reasonable thing to replace it with. If this were a docstring or a string in the manual, I'd agree that either this needs replacing, or fluids need a definition -- but this is a code comment, and finding out what a fluid is once you see that is a matter of ten seconds looking in, say, the Guile manual. -- NULL && (void)
