Re: [hackers] [quark] Reduce global state by localizing the server-struct || Laslo Hunhold

Then should the functions which use the global variable, "term", in st.c
accept a Term pointer instead?

In the case of st, I believe this may affect readability slightly,
however, it would allow for some extensibility(if dvtm, for example,
wanted to rewrite its terminal implementation).

I'm not concerned about race conditions because the global "server"
is copied via fork before any request-handling code has the chance to
modify it.

I agree with the changes, just not the reasoning - though I'd like to
know what you think
