+==== Split bulked traversers for `local()`
+
+Prior to 3.8.0, the `local()` exhibited "traverser-local" semantics, where the
local traversal would independently to
+each individual Traverser. This often led to confusion, especially in the
presence of reducing barrier steps as the
+presence of bulked traversers would lead to multiple objects being processed

"object-local" semantics.
Review Comment:
```suggestion
Prior to 3.8.0, local() exhibited "traverser-local" semantics, where the
local traversal would apply independently to each individual
Traverser. This often led to confusion, especially in the presence of
reducing barrier steps, as bulked traversers would cause multiple
objects to be processed at once. local() has been updated to automatically
split any bulked traversers and thus now exhibits true
"object-local" semantics.
