  """Get the closure of nodes that could begin a scope at this point.

  For instance, when encountering a `(` when parsing a BinOp node, this could
  indicate that the BinOp itself is parenthesized OR that the BinOp's left node
  could be parenthesized.

  E.g.: (a + b * c)   or   (a + b) * c   or   (a) + b * c
        ^                  ^                  ^

  Arguments:
    node: (ast.AST) Node encountered when opening a scope.

  Returns:
    A closure of nodes which that scope might apply to.
