There is a limited case where this works. It does not work where
quotations are allowed access to the outer locals and the quotation is
executed outside of the enclosing scope. This is the domain of closures,
and I am not proposing closures as they (in the main) require complex GC.

You have two ways of expressing this above. In one, you say "MUST". In
the other, you say "SHOULD NOT"; that is where the ambguity lies,
otherwise you would have said "MUST NOT".

How would you word it and not restrict the implementor?
