"Binding Indirection"

Perhaps what you are suggesting is being able to do things like:

>> x: 10

>> foo: func [x] [print ["local" x "super" super.x]]

>> foo 20
local 20 super 10

If environments are first-class values (as I just suggested), then implementing this should become pretty easy, along the lines of:

foo: func [x] [
    env: get-current-environment
    super: parent env
    print ["local" x "super" super.x]
]
