For us mutable global state is very hard to support in any sane way. Having
page-global dictionary definitions or self-contained manual conversions is
fine, but changing global state in the middle of the page (even from a
dynamically changing template) conflicts with a lot of optimizations and is
hard to represent in a UI.
