Hi Ben,

I just committed all my and your changes that implement the "global" design 
and pushed them to the lp:~epics-core/epics-base/msi-join/ branch on 
Launchpad.  I'll be on vacation until next Wednesday now.

I don't like the keyword "scope", can you find some other word instead?  It 
has too much of a "computer-science theory" connotation.  Even "block" would 
be better, but that's not very descriptive either.

With the redesign I don't think this is going to be appropriate or ready for 
R3.14.12, so I'm not going be able to spend any more time on it for a while.
