Scopes​

  1. A scope is one of:

    • The top level in a source file.
    • A pattern scope.
    • A block scope.
    • A type definition.

  2. Every construct that declares a name binds the name to the declared entity within the innermost enclosing scope.

Unqualified name lookup​

  1. Unqualified name lookup associates a name with an entity. The associated entity is the entity to which the name is bound in the innermost enclosing scope in which the name is bound.
