Um, I didn't describe it in such detail because I assumed all of you
"stupid", but to agree on a common mental model for how the language
maps names to values... the exact semantics of scope, and so on. After
all, you did get that one detail wrong, and even if you "know what a
workspace is", tiny differences like these may have a significant
impact in how the software is perceived when you're supposedly giving
much weight to compatibility.
