The big objection is having to declare upvalules. You had to do this

Indeed, I wasn't there at the time. But you also had to declare locals everywhere.
The unary % is nice btw, much better than my proposed upval keyword.
Another option would be to make local optional, for the cases where a declaration is mandatory, like say, for two mutually recursive local functions.
