var ->assign: value=any, scope=[{local,outer,global}]

Assign a var<-_value to the variable. The scope of this assignment is determined by the scope argument:

• local [default] Only assign in the current frame. A variable frame is pushed by code->forward, send_method->send and get_method<-get if the implementation of the method is a code object (user-defined class).
• outer Assign in this and the environment above the current one.
• global Assign in all environments as well as to the var<-_global_value.

  Defaults: The default scope is local.

var ->initialise: type=[type], name=[name], value=[any]

Create a var object that may contain objects of the specified type. A var object may have an optional name and initial value.

Defaults: # type: unchecked

• name: @nil (unnamed, not stored in @variables)
• value: @default
