Yes, of course it does... to be on the safe side, you can even add something
like

#ifdef (anItem)
  #local thrulyImprobableName_dkjgglk=anItem
  #undef anItem
#end

<some code>

#undef anItem
#ifdef(thrulyImprobableName_dkjgglk)
  #declare anItem=thrulyImprobableName_dkjgglk
#end

BUT, apart from being tedious, (and eventually fucking up the anItem true
scope) this does not keep what I thought to be the main advantage of #local:
the opportunity to use any name in generic #include files.

Don't misunderstand me: I do not complain - I explain. Pov is really good
and I really apreciate #local much as it is. I hope this slight restriction
will be indicated in the final manual.


Povingly,


Philippe
