#local are private to the macro or file where they are defined.
#declare are GLOBAL
If you use #local in a macro with the same name used by a #declare, it will take the
place of the 
global only inside the macro. Once you exit the macro, the #local don't exist anymore
and the 
original #declare is visible again, intact.
