Basically, but without the GC overhead of creating closures, or the VM 
overhead of calling functions.

Alternatively:

do
<block>
export local <namelist> = <explist>
end

Where `export` would create the locals on the outer scope. This is 
useful when creating closures without polluting the environment.
