[Laszlo-dev] creating new global vars dynamically, for node id's

[P T Withington]

Technically, don't we say that 'id' is a tag-only const property?  In  
which case, the tag compiler should be able to emit global `var`  
declarations for any id's that it comes across and the runtime then  
just stores the created node in that var.

We don't allow you to give an id to a class that you `new` dynamically  
at run time.

I think doing it that way is no harder than the alternative:  creating  
an object that acts as a global namespace and wrapping `with  
(lfc::global) ...` around every statement.
