Hello, Is there an (undocumented?) way to make a special variable "unspecial" again? Some other Lisps allow doing this. The Maxima Computer Algebra System does this because some source code files use a certain variable as a special one, while others don't. I'm aware that this is not good practice, especially since the special variables are not named like *var*, but just like var. Accessing special variables is more expensive than accessing lexical ones.
