A question about this at the top level

[Russ Abbott]

Why does this happen?

y = "y"
assert y.is(this.y)
println "OK so far!" // => OK so far!"
 
def z = "z"
assert z.is(this.z)  // =>  groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: z for class: Script0

y goes into the binding (no def), while z is a local variable.

In a script, "this" is resolved to the binding!
