  scope
       
           The scope of an identifier is the region of a
          program source within which it represents a certain thing.
          This usually extends from the place where it is declared to
          the end of the smallest enclosing block (begin/end or
          procedure/function body).  An inner block may contain a
          redeclaration of the same identifier in which case the scope
          of the outer declaration does not include (is "shadowed" or
          "{occluded" by) the scope of the inner.
       
          See also activation record, dynamic scope, lexical
          scope.
