Hence my remark about return and yield requiring attention. These
would be disallowed in the context of "local:" UNLESS there is an
enclosing scope of "def function():", so there's no issue of what they
do if they are simply mainlined, and (I think) a well defined result
if they are not.
What about getting an untrapped exception? Again, your suggestion would
mean that only the local scope is exited. Again, this would be unexpected.
