Remarks
In FoxPro several built-in functions have access to locals "by name". We can't do that because it violates the normal rules of encapsulation. However we can "emulate" this behavior by adding this attribute to a function or method that wants access to locals. At runtime we will then populate a table in the runtime with the names and values of local variables And we can access this table with the normal MemVarGet() and MemVarPut() functions.
