In the final version, you will provide a macro to do this,
won't you? Let the user think he's doing something like
   (import-variable user-full-name)

One way to make set! work is with GOOPS and generics.

(define-method set! ((var <emacs-variable>) value)
    (global-set! var value))

(or something, I'm too tired to check)

GOOPS can probably give some way out for getting the value too,
it's worth checking.
