For the record, this is not only on nested loop:

Line 56 in da8bd40
- (v4.x)
Twig/src/Runtime/LoopContext.php
Lines 34 to 37 in 66cb19f
One use-case I found when documenting this in #4865 is about variable shadowing:
{% set users = [{"name": "Homer"}] %}
{% set user = {'name': 'Fabien'} %}
{% for user in users %}
{{ loop.parent.user.name }} - {{ user.name }}
{% endfor %}I do not have a proper wording to document this.

Good point — loop.parent is indeed the whole enclosing context, not just nested loops. I've reworded the intro and added your variable-shadowing example. Thanks!
