/**
 * Interface for determining locally available program elements, such as
 * local variables and imports. 
 * Upon creation, a Scope is associated with a given program position; 
 * for example, a {@linkplain Tree tree node}. This position may be used to
 * infer an enclosing method and/or class.
 * 
 * <p>A Scope does not itself contain the details of the elements corresponding 
 * to the parameters, methods and fields of the methods and classes containing
 * its position. However, these elements can be determined from the enclosing
 * elements.
 *
 * <p>Scopes may be contained in an enclosing scope. The outermost scope contains
 * those elements available via "star import" declarations; the scope within that
 * contains the top level elements of the compilation unit, including any named
 * imports.
