A local variable is unique to the context where it is defined,
so a local variable defined in open code applies to all open
code, and a local variable in a macro is defined only in that
macro. If the same name is used for a local variable in a
different context, it refers to a separate variable.
A global variable is the same variable in all contexts where it
is defined.
