static nested scope
<programming> Where the scope of an identifier is fixed at compile-time
to be the smallest block (begin/end, function, or procedure body) containing the
identifier's declaration. This means that an identifier declared in some block
is only accessible within that block and from procedures declared within it.
This term is used in the Python community.
