That sounds good to me. Or maybe better, a script file could have an
*instance* of a particular (unnamed) class, unless you put a special
header at the top of the file to make it a re-instantiable class.
Defaults matter, and defining classes in script files is the less
common case.

Whether with classes or instances, "File scoped" variables could then
be instance variables.


I have often wished workspaces worked this way, by the way, but never
got around to implementing it....
