A lexical plus an accessor method, when the accessor method does
nothing more than get or set the value with no checks or anything,
is just a slow and cumbersome global variable.

I don't understand the rush to remove global variables.  Why are they
such a blight?  If you don't like 'em, don't use 'em.  But don't make
me give them up.  They make things easy for me.
