Just wondered, whether it was ever considered to "simply" specify a new keyword (e.g. "loc" or something more generic similar to bash's declare),.. which would then allow all shells to keep their current "local"’s behaviour and yet provide a new one, which would then be unified amongst all shells? Or would that something, that shell authors would be willing to do? Cheers, Chris.
