-- Scopes: this library helps keeping track of identifier scopes,
-- typically in code walkers.
--
-- * scope:new() returns a new scope instance s
--
-- * s:push() bookmarks the current set of variables, so the it can be
-- retrieved next time a s:pop() is performed.
--
-- * s:pop() retrieves the last state saved by s:push(). Calls to
-- :push() and :pop() can be nested as deep as one wants.
--
-- * s:add(var_list, val) adds new variable names (stirng) into the
-- scope, as keys. val is the (optional) value associated with them:
-- it allows to attach arbitrary information to variables, e.g. the
-- statement or expression that created them.
--
-- * s:push(var_list, val) is a shortcut for
-- s:push(); s:add(var_list, val).
--
-- * s.current is the current scope, a table with variable names as
-- keys and their associated value val (or 'true') as value.
