Finding it does not require it to be an enclosing scope.  It requires the
name to be *found in* an enclosing scope.  In this case, it is found in
$root.  

If someone doesn't want to consider the upward search as continuing into
$root, it is still found because it is a full hierarchical path name.
The result is the same, but it is simpler to regard resolution of full
hierarchical path names as just the final step of the upward search
algorithm.
