I did, but I know how the context are stacked...

My hint: do not mix #declare and #local for the same variable, or even
parameter name of macro.

The same kind of problem happens with other languages, it's called
shadowing and it's a mess to know which one is used.

The long way would be to issue warning when using #local on a
#declare/d variable, and vice-versa, but it might requires extending
each storage to store that piece of data ( there is also #for... the
variable is kind of #local, yet should it be allowed to be updated
with #local ? )
