Could you explain how you think it should be done?  Especially how you
think one should obtain the local environment during execution.  Since you
seem to have thought about it, it could save me some time to make use of
your thoughts.

In any case, I think it should be a temporary solution to be able to go
through a phase of deprecation of acros and macros.
