Due to an unfortunate name collision, internal.Symbols#Symbol.isLocal
means something different from Flag.LOCAL. Therefore api.Symbols#Symbol.isLocal
was directly violating its documentation.
Since we can’t give api#isLocal an implementation different from internal#isLocal,
we have to rename, and for that occasion I have come up with names
api#isPrivateThis and api#isProtectedThis, which in my opinion suits the
public API better than internal#isPrivateLocal and internal#isProtectedLocal.
Given the extraordinary circumstances of having no way for api#isLocal
to work correctly, I’m forced to remove api#isLocal without a deprecation
notice, exercising our right to break experimental APIs, something that
we have never done before for reflection or macros. This is sad.
