dynamic scope
     
         in a dynamically scoped language, e.g. most
        versions of lisp, an identifier can be referred to, not
        only in the block where it is declared, but also in any
        function or procedure called from within that block, even if
        the called procedure is declared outside the block.
     
        this can be implemented as a simple stack of identifier,
        value pairs, accessed by searching down from the top of stack
        for the most recent instance of a given identifier.
     
        the opposite is lexical scope.  a common implementation of
        dynamic scope is shallow binding.
