I always thought upvar was kind of a cool feature, and allowed laser-specific targeting in places where you'd use a global otherwise in C. Is there any specific way that it's caused problems?

We obviously liked it because upvar is how Little passes by reference. I don't know why someone thought upvar was bad, it is useful.
