Re: [PATCH] t0000: check whether the shell supports the "local" keyword

I don't think you're missing anything. I think the idea here is: "do
any users who actively run the test suite care if we start using
local". I don't think the goal is to allow use of local in non-test
suite code. At least, that's not how I interpreted it.

Thus it's fine to be only as part of a test and see if anyone
complains, since the only people affected would be those which
actually run the test suite...

Changing our requirement for regular shell scripts we ship seems a lot
trickier to gauge.

Yup, that matches my expectations for what we would gain out of this
change.
