In Pipp I encountered the problem that an our variables seem to get
lost in NQP actions.
This means that I had set an our variable in one action. When trying to
look at the
variable in a subsequently called action, the variable was not defined.
However this was not reproducible. Using the variable in another action
worked as expected.
In t/compilers/pct/complete_workflow.t:84 I added a TODO test case that
illustrates this
behavior.
The test case appears to have incorrect logic.
$?MY_OUR_VAR appears to be set by the action method for TOP, but the
action method for thingy will be called _before_ the action method
for TOP. Thus it's pretty clear that thingy won't see the setting
of $?MY_OUR_VAR because it hasn't occurred yet.

I think that I misunderstood how actions work.
I thought that the action for <thingy> is called by the line:
make $( $<thingy> );
But is looks like it is called during the matching process, which make
perfect sense.
So my real problem is:
In the action for <thingy> how do I determine that the match is
below <TOP>?
I need this for distinguishing between function scope and global scope
of variables in PHP.
