Well, no.  "local" is a variable scope declaration.  But "local" is a
synonym for "typeset" and we just had that long discussion about how
"typeset" both declares variables and prints their values ... so you
don't want to execute it multiple times, because the second+ time it
is going to start printing instead of declaring.
