Fluid variables are a Scheme thing (more, generally, a
functional-programming thing). "Dynamically-scoped free variable" would
be a reasonable thing to replace it with. If this were a docstring or a
string in the manual, I'd agree that either this needs replacing, or
fluids need a definition -- but this is a code comment, and finding out
what a fluid is once you see that is a matter of ten seconds looking in,
say, the Guile manual.
