I wasn't intending to "poke into" this. I was simply going to point out that probably refaliasing and `local` ought to behave the same way. It turns out that they already do, so maybe we don't have to do anything at all. Alternatively, if we decide we should change the way they work, we should make sure to keep them consistent and change both of them at once. Changing the way that `local` works on SvREADONLY containers sounds like a rather big and invasive change to make at this point.
