I knew this statement felt wrong when I wrote it so I dove in and looked at
the code again....It's not actually necessary to test the what scope we're
in because of the way the parser is laid out... however it does still add an
extra hashtable lookup that shouldn't be necessary, so my original position
stands as is for now.

If someone would like to benchmark the following patch (Or point out any
fatal flaws in it) I'd be interrested in the results, but even if there's no
perceptible difference over a million itterations, I'd probably still
vote -1 on changing it.
