 Lexical and dynamic scopes align until a reference keyword is encountered. While
 following the reference keyword moves processing from one lexical scope into a
 different one, from the perspective of dynamic scope, following a reference is
 no different from descending into a subschema present as a value. A keyword on
 the far side of that reference that resolves information through the dynamic
 scope will consider the originating side of the reference to be their dynamic
