Interesting. I believe the better question is: How to manage context? In a hierarchy or flat or ...? Natural languages have the same problem and a plethora of solutions mostly based on conventions or rules. You make even break them to end up with a joke or confuse your opponent. Scientists often think 'this makes no sense in given context' and rely on very strictly defined contexts. In common language the situation at hand loosely defines a context leading to all kind of misunderstandings when strangers meet. However, communication can drastically improve if a shared context exists and was found.
Is there a progamming language where one can construct/negotiate contexts in a clever way? Something more powerful than Python's 'import' or Javascript's 'with'?
