Description

We use a variable to define a prefix which user may override it, and we defined a function inside a plugin which will consume this variable.

Currently we have to pass in this prefix variable in every usage. Is there a way to peek the current variables in the function call?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the plugin-defined function and the handling of user-defined variables, then determine whether the current variable scope can be accessed during a function call without passing the prefix; done means resolving and documenting or implementing that behavior.
