The idea is that YOU write "local:", and the interpreter, without you

That would make "return" in the local scope exit the scope, not the

Hence my remark about return and yield requiring attention. These
would be disallowed in the context of "local:" UNLESS there is an
enclosing scope of "def function():", so there's no issue of what they
do if they are simply mainlined, and (I think) a well defined result
if they are not.
What about getting an untrapped exception? Again, your suggestion would
mean that only the local scope is exited. Again, this would be unexpected.
