It's behaving as defined though, and the usual work-around is to add a

Thanks, Paul. That's helpful. I will re-read the reference manual, and
see if I can find out where this behavior is defined. It looks like
it's binding both locals and globals, but not actually taking a
snapshot in time, as would, say Perl (I think). From an efficiency POV
this makes great sense, and I can see that you get everything you need
by essentially creating the closure yourself (by putting everything in
the local space for the function).
