In a ClojureScript project targetting nodejs, what exactly is going on behind the scenes with the following common statement?

If you check the source out you'll see it's defining a few dynamic variables, which are then used for printing to console, e.g. via string-print and other functions.

Without it, the base definition of *print-fn* throws an error as you are required to set something appropriate for the environment you're running in.
