unfortunately, when I de-activate the initial special bindings and
re-activate them at the end right before the implicit_progn(),
I get some additional test failures instead.

I wonder if keeping two separate vectors of special vars and args
and binding the specials only after argument processing right before the
implicit_progn() is a cleaner solution.
