Subj : (In Rhino) Why Context.newObject() looking for constructors only in TopLevelScope?

This is "newObject" method from org.mozilla.javascript.Context class.

.....
01 : public final Scriptable newObject(Scriptable scope, String
constructorName, Object[] args)
02 : {
03 :        scope = ScriptableObject.getTopLevelScope(scope);
04 :        Function ctor = ScriptRuntime.getExistingCtor(this, scope,
05 :
constructorName);
06 :        if (args == null) { args = ScriptRuntime.emptyArgs; }
07 :        return ctor.construct(this, scope, args);
08 : }
.....

Why scope gets reset to point to TopLevelScope (line 03)?
