Thanks for the details.

Hmm, given that the lexical-binding change to ob-core was back in Org
9.0 (November 2016), it seems like dynamic scoping wasn't really being
relied on (or, if it was, downstream code has already been adjusted).
In my view it'd be better to stick with lexical scoping for these
variables, with callers explicitly passing the subset of needed
variables to the underlying function(s).
