    Known Issues

    📦 All scripts frozen into the package, as well as all run-time hooks, share
    the same global variables. This issue exists since v3.2 but was discovered
    👀 only lately, see #3037. This may lead to leaking global variables
    from run-time hooks into the script and from one script to subsequent ones.
    It should have effects in rare cases only, though.

    🚀 Further see the Known Issues for release 3.3.
