Confused about LOCAL....

Originally (in the first versions of the 39GII+) , the syntax (for program globals) was:
LOCAL ?????; meant: global to the program and not directly visible to the outside world (unless fully qualified)
and EXPORT ?????; meant global to the program and directly visible to the outside world.

Then LOCAL became optional (which it was not originally), thus leaving only EXPORT. However, LOCAL was kept for backward compatibility.
