This is not yet possible. I have tried to find a more Schemish solution to
Tcl trace variable and tkwaits. In fact, I think that a clean way would be to
allow to set a trace on a variable in a given environment (or a slot in an
object). The problem is that I have not found a way to implement it
efficiently (or more exactly without having to pay for it even if you don't
use it). This
is on my TODO list....
