That's exactly the problem. The word makes perfect sense, it has an easily understandable meaning. And this meaning has nothing at all to do with the localness that the word is used for. The word suggests quite strongly that it's talking about the assignment. This is completely wrong, since it actually specifies the visibility scope of the name. -- Ingvar von Schoultz _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list Es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
