I think the part "same environment" is perhaps the issue here. Maybe
"same lexical scope" would be a better choice. I don't know if the report
uses "environment" for "lexical scope" in other places, but if it does, I
would recommend changing it all to "lexical scope", expecially since
"environment" is also used with a different meaning in the ocntext of "eval".
