@robcasloz Another comment about scopes and `DataName`s.

I hope that most regular users don't have to directly interact with `addDataName` and `dataNames()...sample()`, but that these are wrapped into Templates. The hope is that Templates like `defineField(name, type)` and `loadValue.asToken(type)` could wrap the API calls, so that the user does not have to interact with `DataName` directly, but more with Java concepts, such as adding fields, variables, getting some random value (maybe constant, maybe field load, maybe variable load, ...).
