I have missed that one, I am afraid. Is it about keeping $0-symbols in local hash tables, or about introducing a new special syntax? How a local symbol would be prevented from spilling out of local context?

The global symbol-table would deal with: 1. the unique numbering of symbols based on string comparison 2. the holding of global variables (array names / receive-symbols)

A "local" symbol-table would deal with: 1. the holding of "local" variables 2. that's all

The $-prefixes would really become scope indicators. $0-hello would access the local table $0 using the t_symbol "hello". This would *not* create a t_symbol "1000-hello" anymore.

A "local" symbol-table would belong to an abstraction instance (and so, in OOP vocabulary, would rather be called instance symbol-table, or object symbol-table). It would be destroyed whenever the abstraction instance is destroyed.
