This doesn't work if a function declares a local with the same name as a global. The Hxx fields were designed to save and restore the global Class/Type/Val in that case. Although with a bit of work, you may be able to handle that case with your new approach. |

You were right; it didn't work. I think I fixed it, but the case for it being a simplification is not so strong anymore. More it is just a slightly different approach. It has the upside that it generalizes more easily to allowing additional nested local scopes. And it is still at -1 net lines of code :^) |

This is very interesting and clever! |
