/** <p>
* Fluids provide a binding mechanism where the current
* value is found through <em>dynamic scope</em>, but where
* access to the fluid itself is resolved through </em>static
* binding</em> to a variable referencing the fluid.
* </p>
* <p>
* The current value can be retrieved with the
* <code>value</code> method. New values can be
* pushed using the <code>withValue</code> method.
* Values pushed via <code>withValue</code> only
* stay valid while the <code>withValue</code>'s
* <em>second</em> argument, a parameterless closure,
* executes. When the second argument finishes,
* the fluid reverts to the previous value.
* </p>
* <p>
* Usage of <code>withValue</code> looks like this:
* </p>
* <blockquote><pre>
* someFluid.withValue(newValue) {
* // ... code called in here that calls value ...
* // ... will be given back the newValue ...
* }
* </pre></blockquote>
* <p>
* Each thread gets its own stack of bindings. When a
* new thread is created, the fluid gets a copy of
* the stack of bindings from the parent thread, and
* from then on the bindings for the new thread
* are independent of those for the original thread.
* </p>
