Hello,

Is it possible to obtain the local scope of the caller?
How would currentScope be implemented to provide the behavior below?
I am aware of dynamic scoping but I don't always want this behavior.

Such that:

var a = "2312";

function currentScope() {
  System.out.println(caller["a"]);
}

function test() {
  var a = "This is a test\n";
  currentScope();
}

Should output:
This is a test
