The "scope" is the hierarcy level that defines a given method. For example,
::class foobar ::method foo say "hello" ::class fubar subclass foobar ::method fu say "goodbye" The scope of the "foo" method is the .Foobar class. The scope of the "fu" method is the "fu" class. The method scope determines a lot of things, such as which variable pool gets accessed by the EXPOSE instruction and what value SUPER gets set to in that method's context. Generally, the scope object is a class, but for methods that are added directly to object instances, the scope ends up being the object instance. I can't really think of many good uses for this, but it seemed like it should be made available for completeness.
