On the other hand, you recently posted this snippet to the list:

        ((let ((n 3))
           (let ((f (lambda () n)))
             (set! n 7)
             f)))

Setting aside the fact that C doesn't have anonymous functions, I'll
approximate it as best I can:

static int n = 3;

int f()
{
    return n;
}

int main()
{
    n = 7;
    return f();
}

C: 10
Scheme: 20
