It surely could; I think it's just that HELP was written with the
convention in mind; indeed, there's an:
if :item = /local [break]
which assumes that /local ends the list of arguments. I think one
could replace that with something like:
if :item = /local [args: any [find next args refinement! tail args]]
(I'm not saying the above would really work, just giving an idea).
However, as I said I wouldn't encourage using other refinements
after /local; also, maybe we could take this as a feature and use
it to create "hidden" refinements that are only used internally
and are not really part of the interface...
Regards,
Gabriele.
