Can a Jinja variable's scope extend beyond in an inner block?

Question

I have the following Jinja template:

{% set mybool = False %}
{% for thing in things %}
    

        

            {%

Update 2018

As of Jinja 2.10 (8th Nov 2017) there is a namespace() object to address this particular problem. See the official Assignments documentation for more details and an example; the class documentation then illustrates how to assign several values to a namespace.
