  I figured that separate lists would be the simplest way to show that
locally named elvi would shadow global ones, as I suspect in most cases
this is likely to be the behaviour you want.

  I don't have push access, but this isn't normally a problem and it has
never concerned me before.  Ian is normally quick to pounce on requests
and patches, so I'm sure it will get picked up or commented on Real Soon
Now(™).
