As you
generate code, you create a tree of scopes in the same shape as the nested
function bodies. Each scope knows about the variables declared within it,
and has a reference to its parent enclosing scope. In this way, we know which
variables are new and need to be declared with <code>var</code>, and which are shared
with the outside.</p> </td> <td class="code"> <div class="highlight"><pre></pre></div> </td> </tr> <tr id="section-2"> <td class="docs"> <div class="octowrap"> <a class="octothorpe" href="#section-2">#</a> </div> <p>Set up exported variables for both <strong>Node.js</strong> and the browser.</p> </td> <td class="code"> <div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">this</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nv">exports: </span><span class="k">this</span> <span class="nx">unless</span> <span class="nx">process</span><span class="o">?</span>
