Well, it doesn't fit in with either of the the other commands. #declare 
is an action, you declare a variable. #local is a descriptive word like 
#persistent. You can't persist a variable...it is the variable that 
persists. But you can declare a persistant variable. The word "persist" 
just doesn't seem to fit into the language.
