(Huh - i realized that "locality of reference" isn't the right phrase, not
sure what is.  I was trying to refer to something along the lines of
modularity - basically, the virtue of lexical scoping is that you can,
eventually, trace the connections by reading the program text.  Dynamic
scoping is not so well behaved - any routine that calls your routine may
contain a variable whose value you're expecting to get from elsewhere.  
It's too promiscuous...)
