If I understand this correctly, it would allow Arcueid's compiler to resolve global variables at compile-time, rather than at run-time. No need for variable renaming. There is currently a genv instruction in Arcueid's virtual machine which basically takes a symbol referring to a global variable and finds its binding in the global environment. If we do hyper-static scope, the genv instruction can be changed to take a reference to the actual global variable instead. Thus, the mappings of symbols to free variables are only required when compiling an expression.
