Description

I prefer #local vs velocimacro.context.localscope because
you can create macro libraries that allow declaring local vars
without polluting the namespace, but also enables setting global
variables. See the thread ending on 16.04.2007 "RE: velocimacro.context.localscope"
with the #springBind example for such a case.

If #local is not part of the core, it cannot be used for general purpose velocity macro libraries...
