This makes the feature basically useless for anything requiring
performance, since it always has to search the entire hierarchy
for a late-assigned value further up.
Additional work using our weak subclass hierarchy might be able
to make reads slightly cheaper (giving up at first successfuly
read) by walking down the hierarchy on every write and killing
other vars, but the concurrency aspects of that make my head spin.
Fixes #1554.
