I have just noticed that this whole notion is fairly similar to the "local"
statement in ML, the syntax for which looks like this:
local <declarations> in <declarations> end
The idea is that the first declarations, whatever they are, are processed
without putting their names into the surrounding scope, then the second
declarations are processed *with* putting their names into the surrounding
scope.
For example:
local
fun add(x:int, y:int) = x+y
in
fun succ(x) = add(x, 1)
end
This defines succ in the surrounding scope, but not add.
So in Python terms, I think this would be
local: <suite> in: <suite>
or, for example:
local: <target> = value
in:
blah
blah
blah
