Subject: block scoping change between 1.8 & 1.9

Hello,

This probably is a rather basic question but I am curious about the
change from static to dynamic scopes between 1.8 and 1.9 for block
scopes. What was the primary motivation for this(my understanding is
most people have moved to static scopes due to odd interaction issues
in most languages)?

Thanks in advance,

Carter.
