Well no, not really. Vim silently allows the :setlocal for for global-only
options. But although you use :setlocal form, the global
option will be set if the option is global-only option. To take an
example: 'bk' is global-only option. But if yuo try ':setlocal bk'
you get no error. I don't like this behavior, it's error-prone. As
a result, you might be changing global option thinking that you
change local option. The only way is to look into help for every
option to check whether it is local or global.
