Introduce true global variables The basic idea is that if we don't find a variable `foo` then we fallback to retrieving the value from the tiddler `$:/global/foo`, if it exists. This allows us to replace the usual importvariables-based mechanism for global definitions, avoiding cluttering up the variable namespace with every macro. In order to permit subprocedures to be overridden, we also introduce a mechanism for conditional definitions: preceding the word definition\|procedure\|function\|widget with a + causes the definition only to occur if the specified variable doesn't already exist. In the next commit we'll apply this mechanism to the tabs macro 2022-05-28 11:23:50 +00:00			`title: Globals/Functions`
