You were very close. Remember that this syntax:
local function g() end
is equivalent to
local g = function() end
and that the local statement creates a new local.
Yes I see that now, however I thought that the concept of "2 locals
of the same name" is a bit strange.
For example, at global scope:
a = 22
a = 44
This does not create 2 copies of a - how can it, as "a" is held in
one place: _G ['a']?
Thus I assumed that putting "local x" in twice would simply
"reconfirm" that x is a locally declared variable inside its function.
Thanks for the quick response.
