foo = 1; foo # depth 0

bar = 2; tap { bar } # depth 1

The specific rules for calculating the depth may differ from individual Ruby implementations, as they are not specified by the language. For more information, see the Prism documentation.

The name of the local variable, which is an identifier.

Example

x      # name `:x`
