Good to know.  Thx.

I haven't checked the doc for each of those kinds
of var.  But do we mention what you say in the
doc?

E.g., do we say that a var that's local in more
than one of these ways might be problematic ("there
might be conflicts")?  Should the doc say clearly
what happens (e.g., what determines the order or
priority)?
