But constructions such as this one seem to introduce ramifications which are not universal.

Aha, they seem? Stop spreading FUD! Say what they do! Stop speculating and nail down the facts!

You still don't get what this module is all about. Not all ramifications need to be universal. Some are pretty local and limited either by space or time (see my/local, space/time (was: Re: The difference between my and local)). This module is meant to limit "universal ramifications" to a narrow scope defined by the programmer which is using it.

BTW: the story of the universe is the only one with endless ramifications. Not all ramifications in this universal story are universal, either.
