For Lurlene to be a useful live coding language, it needs to actually satisfy the live coding requirement. Currently updating a global does not update that global in any object that has previously referred to it. The obvious solution is to refer to a global by indexing into the globals dict every time, but we'd like to be able to write natural code and have Lurlene update the references.
