Currently, there is none. So I went for the shortest:
grep -n -e LOCAL imcc.l imcc.l:181:".sym" return(LOCAL); imcc.l:206:".local" return(LOCAL);
Its a relic. I had planned to make .sym usable at varying scope levels (as opposed to .local). I've now come to the conclusion that .sym is not very descriptive and I will probably use .global and other more specific names rather than changing .sym
In any case, its there now and will probably stay for imcc hackers who prefer variety. :)
