Please, no, not "Malcolm scope". That's the kind of thing that gets
suggested as a last resort, or as a joke, when you insist on using
existing terminology with your own idiosyncratic meaning.
"Outermost block scope" is a clear and correct description of what
you're talking about. Though what you're probably talking about is
outermost block scope before any statements. Or just "at the top of the
function definition".
