The fluidization patches have been in master for almost 2 months now.
If there is any wailing or gnashing of teeth going on out there, y'all
are being creepy-silent about it.

Just in case you missed it, here are the global bindings that are now
fluids.  This list should maybe go in something maybe called "9.3
Raleez Notes" (not sure of the spelling).

Ya, 38 global bindings!  There are another 60 internal bindings
similarly affected.  If you are the type that likes to frob internals,
