title: In what scope are module variables stored in node.js?
body: <p>When I do this in my node.js module:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var abc = '123';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where does it go? And by this I mean: in the browser it goes in <code>window.abc</code> (if not executed in a function or otherwise)</p>
  
  <p>If I execute this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>abc = '123';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I can find it in <code>global.abc</code>, but that's not how I want it.</p>
