I don't think I understand it.
Let's say I have abstraction [blah]. I want [s foo] and [r foo] inside [blah]
and
all of [blah]'s children to talk to each other. Then I want to share my
abstraction
with Bob who needn't worry about the send/receive names I used inside [blah]
because they are guaranteed not to conflict with anything he does outside the
scope of the [blah] abstraction (e.g., creating a [s foo] on the same canvas
where
a [blah] object sits).
Can I specify the scope of the s/r symbol in this way?
