The above Active Oberon language reports states on p.12 (“Declaration and Scope Rules”):

    “An item may be directly referenced within its scope only."

QUESTION: Does this mean that Active Oberon implements "shadowing through scope”? I.e. does an intermediate variable (such as the intermediate variable g declared in P below) block access to a global variable with the same name from within a nested scope Q?
