    Define local variables.
    
    Create a local variable called NAME, and give it VALUE.  OPTION can
    be any option accepted by `declare'.
    
    Local variables can only be used within a function; they are visible
    only to the function where they are defined and its children.
    
    Exit Status:
    Returns success unless an invalid option is supplied, an error occurs,
    or the shell is not executing a function.
