I was noticed similiar thing just yesterday and wondered what to do with that.
Looks like #local works as #declare for references (instead of value) as
parameter. For example

#macro Dec(A)
  #local A=A-1;
#end

#local C=1;
Dec(C)
#warning str(C,0,-1)

Above outputs 0 while according to my interpretation of documentation should
output 1. In fact I think documentation is unprecise - it says about namespace
but not about 'referencespace'.
