So we have three answers to the question, what to do if you're passing some state through a lot of functions, to the extent that passing it around is taking up as much code as what you're actually doing?
1. Put all the functions inside a surrounding lexical scope, and keep the state in some lexical variables that all the functions can access.
2. Write some macros so that you're still passing the state through all your functions, but the variables don't appear in your code.
3. Use some kind of dynamic binding (like Scheme parameters) so the functions can access the state without it having to be passed in as part of the function's arguments.
