- /* Fluids.
-
- Fluids are objects of a certain type (a smob) that can hold one SCM
- value per dynamic root. That is, modifications to this value are
- only visible to code that executes within the same dynamic root as
- the modifying code. When a new dynamic root is constructed, it
- inherits the values from its parent. Because each thread executes
- in its own dynamic root, you can use fluids for thread local
- storage.
-
- Each fluid is identified by a small integer. This integer is used
- to index a vector that holds the values of all fluids. Each root
- has its own vector.
-
- Currently, you can't get rid a certain fluid if you don't use it
- any longer. The slot that has been allocated for it in the fluid
- vector will not be reused for other fluids. Therefore, only use
- SCM_MAKE_FLUID or its Scheme variant `make-fluid' in initialization
- code that is only run once. Nevertheless, it should be possible to
- implement a more lightweight version of fluids on top of this basic
- mechanism. */

- do no error checking at all. You should only use them when you know
- that the relevant fluid already exists in the current dynamic root.
- The easiest way to ensure this is to execute a SCM_FLUID_SET_X in the
- topmost root, for example right after SCM_MAKE_FLUID in your
- SCM_INIT_MUMBLE routine that gets called from SCM_BOOT_GUILE_1. The
- first argument is the index number of the fluid, obtained via
- SCM_FLUID_NUM, not the fluid itself. */
