Re: [Jim Blandy <jimb@redhat.com>] RFA: Check that `Local' is not in scope when it shouldn't be


Looks okay to me too, I'll be catching it in the next spin.

Your intuition is proper.

I wrote the 'setup_kfail' comments before kfail was implemented,
and before we'd figured out our idioms for it.  It turns out that we
will have lots of 'kfail' and very few 'setup_kfail'.  I think the
remaining xfail's should be that way too (after we kill all the bogus
ones).
