Hi all,

Talking about workspaces, scope and semantics...

->" help who", "help whos" refer to "local scope", "global scope" (but not to "workspace" or "symbol table")

-> "help clear" refers to "symbol table" (but not to "workspace", "local scope", "global scope")

-> "help evalin", "help assignin" refer to "context" (but to none of the other concepts)

Perhaps some clarification of the documentation regarding the relation between theses concepts would be helpful ?
