Since variables in elisp are by default dynamically scoped, is there a coding convention for when you mean to take advantage of a variable being dynamic?
The convention that comes to mind is to only do this with variables that have been defvar'd and not just use it as a cheesy way to avoid passing parameters to subroutines.
Should one use *names* like in Common Lisp?
Definitely not :-)
