where

Implements the regular scoping rules, but instead of returning the value associated with a name, it returns the environment in which it is located.

where(name, env = parent.frame())

`name`	name, as string, to look for
`env`	environment to start at. Defaults to the calling environment of this function.

x <- 1
where("x")
where("t.test")
where("mean")
where("where")
