I think the thing we need to fix is that mk is ignoring an assignment
if a system variable is already defined in the environment. However,
this doesn't apply to normal variables:
term% cat mkfile
x=3
default:V:
echo $x
term% mk
echo 3
3
term% x=4 mk
echo 3
4
term% ed - mkfile
1d
w
q
term% x=4 mk
echo $x
4
term%
