a value.

Use
scope.find(key) looks up a value in the current scope’s
context, if a value is not found, parent scope’s context
will be explored.
const list = [ { name: "Justin" }, { name: "Brian" } ];
const justin = list[ 0 ];
const curScope = new Scope( list ).add( justin );
curScope.find( "name" ); //-> "Justin"
curScope.find( "length" ); //-> 2
Prefixing a key with "./" prevents any parent scope look ups.
Prefixing a key with one or more "../" shifts the lookup path
that many levels up.
const list = [ { name: "Justin" }, { name: "Brian" } ];
list.name = "Programmers";
list.surname = "CanJS";
const justin = list[ 0 ];
const brian = list[ 1 ];
const curScope = new Scope( list ).add( justin ).add( brian );
curScope.find( "name" ); //-> "Brian"
curScope.find( "surname" ); //-> "CanJS"
curScope.find( "./surname" ); //-> undefined
curScope.find( "../name" ); //-> "Justin"
curScope.find( "../surname" ); //-> "CanJS"
curScope.find( ".././surname" ); //-> "undefined"
curScope.find( "../../name" ); //-> "Programmers"
