Accessing a variable declared in the upper scope #638

Closed arakov closed 3 months ago

arakov commented 3 months ago

If two variables are declared in different scopes they can have the same name.

There has to be a way to refer a variable declared in the upper scope:

  var a := new List();
  {
     var a := 2;

     super a.append(a); 
  };

  console.printLine(a.asEnumerable());

The proposed syntax can be used for script grammar (see xforms).
