Yes - I think that when one can name scopes, the scopes are treated as implicit hierarchical names in the sense that they follow the upward resolution rules defined for hierarchical names. Similar issues exist for system routines such as $dumpvars that can name scopes. Narrowly speaking the grammar now in fact allows simple identifiers to be "hierarchical_..._identifiers". This is likely confusing as it implies that all simple names follow hierarchical (upwards) resolution rules which is not the case. Gord.
