What is the s: for that precedes the second function's name, and why
does it change scope (s for scope, perhaps)? Thanks.

s: stands for script. The scope of the variable is the script. As file static 
variables in C.


Any of the [gvslawtb]: prefixed variables define the scope of the variable, as 
follows:

g: global variable, accessible anywhere
v: special variable predefined by Vim only useful in certain contexts, see the 
help entry for that variable
s: script-local variable, accessible anywhere within a given script file
l: function-local variable, only accessible with the defining function
a: function argument
w: window-local variable, global variable but with a separate copy for every 
single window
t: tab-local variable, global variable but with a separate copy for each tab 
page
b: buffer-local variable, global variable but with a separate copy for each 
buffer

Yes, and in addition, if you don't use a scope prefix Vim implies l: if you're inside a function and g: otherwise.

See :help internal-variables

Tony.
