I have no opinion on the advisability of set-current-test-runner! one
way or the other, but I will note that Chez Scheme parameters are
mutable, unlike their SRFI 39 counterparts. I haven't done a survey of
other implementations. But rather than create some other ad hoc
facility, I would rather permit mutable parameters. I don't feel
strongly on this, but it is an alternative.
