Globals are stored in a table, but locals are basically on the stack,
making them much faster.

If you really need to trigger on setting a local variable, create a single
local table and use keys in that table as though they were local variables.
The table will conveniently disappear when you exit the scope. You can then
use the normal set table tag handler.
