>- see footer for list info -< I would say there was never any need to assign arguments to another var scoped structure in CF7, 8 or 9 since arguments are already private to the function, however if you have this dotted through your code you can probably just remove the 'var' infront of local and all will work.
It does mean some search and replace work and we have some instances of this in our code (not duplicating arguments but setting up a var scoped structure called local).
