We left it nowhere.
 
I still think my simple <let/> addition to <macrodef/> will solve 90% of the use cases
with very low impact across the code. But as anything, people will have to understand
when to use it properly and so on.
 
The patch is there in bugzilla, but I will not apply it unless there is some support for it
(I have not have the need for local properties myself, so it is not a problem for me).
 
As per other approaches to local properties, unless we go and define a real semantic
for them (like any other well design programming language out there) I see they creating
more problems than solutions, in particular in our BC constrained world.

Does anyone recall where we left off on this
discussion?    I think we need these, what do we need
to resolve to get them in?
