 /* Fluids.
 
    Fluids are objects of a certain type (a smob) that can hold one SCM
-   value per dynamic root.  That is, modifications to this value are
-   only visible to code that executes within the same dynamic root as
-   the modifying code.  When a new dynamic root is constructed, it

+   only visible to code that executes with the same dynamic state as
+   the modifying code.  When a new dynamic state is constructed, it
    inherits the values from its parent.  Because each thread executes
-   in its own dynamic root, you can use fluids for thread local

    storage.
 
    Each fluid is identified by a small integer.  This integer is used
-   to index a vector that holds the values of all fluids.  Each root
-   has its own vector.
-
-   Currently, you can't get rid a certain fluid if you don't use it
-   any longer.  The slot that has been allocated for it in the fluid
-   vector will not be reused for other fluids.  Therefore, only use
-   SCM_MAKE_FLUID or its Scheme variant `make-fluid' in initialization
-   code that is only run once.  Nevertheless, it should be possible to
-   implement a more lightweight version of fluids on top of this basic
-   mechanism. */

-The easiest way to ensure this is to execute a SCM_FLUID_SET_X in the
