Provide an initial rough structure for the specification so we can add things as they are decided. Split the specification into a language and a library section. In the language section, use one file per broad area of functionality. Divide the language up based on the intended layering of the language design.

## Names
|
|
|
|
1. A _name_ is an [identifier](lex.md). Two names are the same if they comprise
|
|
the same sequence of Unicode code points.

|
## Scopes
|
|
|
|
1. A _scope_ is one of:
|
|
|
|
- The top level in a source file.
|
|
- A pattern scope.
|
|
- A block scope.
|
|
- A type definition.
|
|
|
|
2. Every construct that declares a name _binds_ the name to the declared entity
|
|
within the innermost enclosing scope.
|
|
|
|
## Unqualified name lookup
|
|
|
|
1. Unqualified name lookup associates a name with an entity. The associated
|
|
entity is the entity to which the name is bound in the innermost enclosing
|
|
scope in which the name is bound.
