This is some groundwork for $recursiveRef/$recursiveAnchor, formalizing lexical and dynamic notions of scope in ways that should be quite intuitive given how the concepts are used in a wide variety of programming languages.

NOTE: I'm breaking this up into three parts to keep each one a bit more focused. The first two are on the core spec file, but do not overlap in line numbers or even sections. There are some references between them but figuring them out should be straightforward. I'm not entirely happy with this write up (particularly the 2nd part), but I have been struggling with this for at least two months and just need to get something out there to unblock progress. Hopefully we can edit this into something workable.
