=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module lets you defer actions I<at run-time> that will take place when the control flow returns into an upper scope.
=item *
-execute a subroutine in the setting of an upper subroutine stack frame with L</uplevel>.
+execute a subroutine in the setting of an upper subroutine stack frame with L</uplevel> ;
+
+=item *
+
+uniquely identify contextes with L</uid> and L</validate_uid>.
=back
Albeit the three exceptions listed above, it passes all the tests of L<Sub::Uplevel>.
+=head2 C<uid $context>
+
+Returns an unique identifier (UID) for the context (or dynamic scope) pointed by C<$context>, or for the current context if C<$context> is omitted.
+This UID will only be valid for the life time of the context it represents, and another UID will be generated next time the same scope is executed.
+
+ my $uid;
+
+ {
+ $uid = uid;
+ if ($uid eq uid()) { # yes, this is the same context
+ ...
+ }
+ {
+ if ($uid eq uid()) { # no, we are one scope below
+ ...
+ }
+ if ($uid eq uid(UP)) { # yes, UP points to the same scope as $uid
+ ...
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ # $uid is now invalid
+
+ {
+ if ($uid eq uid()) { # no, this is another block
+ ...
+ }
+ }
+
+For example, each loop iteration gets its own UID :
+
+ my %uids;
+
+ for (1 .. 5) {
+ my $uid = uid;
+ $uids{$uid} = $_;
+ }
+
+ # %uids has 5 entries
+
+The UIDs are not guaranteed to be numbers, so you must use the C<eq> operator to compare them.
+
+To check whether a given UID is valid, you can use the L</validate_uid> function.
+
+=head2 C<validate_uid $uid>
+
+Returns true if and only if C<$uid> is the UID of a currently valid context (that is, it designates a scope that is higher than the current one in the call stack).
+
+ my $uid;
+
+ {
+ $uid = uid();
+ if (validate_uid($uid)) { # yes
+ ...
+ }
+ {
+ if (validate_uid($uid)) { # yes
+ ...
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ if (validate_uid($uid)) { # no
+ ...
+ }
