 You have not given enough information. Imagine this example

   def change_monkey(gt, gs, g)
      # how do you want to access, in this method, the local variable
      # mutantMonkey, with only `gt', `gs', `g'
   end

   badGuyType = "mutantMonkey"
   badGuyShow = "powerPuffGirls"
   badGuy = "Mojo Jojo"
   SenselessNames = Struct::new( :powerPuffGirls )
   mutantMonkey = SenselessNames.new

   change_monkey(badGuyType, badGuyShow, badGuy)



 In #change_monkey it's not possible to access the local variable
 `mutantMonkey' (because it's defined outside of the def)
