main types of scopes in Julia, *global scope* and *local scope*. The latter can be nested. The
constructs introducing scope blocks are:

# [](@id man-scope-table)

* Scope blocks that may nest only in other global scope blocks:

- global scope

+ [`module`](@ref), [`baremodule`](@ref)

+ at interactive prompt (REPL)

- local scope (don't allow nesting)

+ (mutable) [`struct`](@ref), [`macro`](@ref)

* Scope blocks which may nest anywhere (in global or local scope):

- local scope

+ [`for`](@ref), [`while`](@ref), [`try-catch-finally`](@ref try), [`let`](@ref)

+ functions (either syntax, anonymous & do-blocks)

+ comprehensions, broadcast-fusing

The three last rows here should state other local or global as per the old docs I assume?

Ah, how could I miss that :( !!
(but I knew those 3 constructs can nest in either global or local scopes).
Thanks for checking


Notably missing from this table are
[begin blocks](@ref man-compound-expressions) and [if blocks](@ref man-conditional-evaluation)
