-     * This function extracts a possible scope out of a [Name], e.g. if the name is fully qualified.
-     * This also resolves possible name aliases (e.g. because of imports). It returns a pair of a
-     * scope (if found) as well as the name, which is possibly adjusted for the aliases.
+     * This function extracts a scope for the [Name] in node, e.g. if the name is fully qualified.
+     *
+     * The pair returns the extracted scope and a name that is adjusted by [aliases]. The extracted
+     * scope is "responsible" for the name (e.g. declares the parent namespace) and the returned
+     * name only differs from the provided name if aliasing was involved at the node location (e.g.
+     * because of imports).
      *
      * Note: Currently only *fully* qualified names are properly resolved. This function will
      * probably return imprecise results for partially qualified names, e.g. if a name `A` inside
      * `B` points to `A::B`, rather than to `A`.
+     *
+     * @param node the nodes name references a namespace constituted by a scope
+     * @param scope the current scope relevant for the name resolution, e.g. parent of node
+     * @return a pair with the scope of node.name and the alias-adjusted name
