Log:
  style.lua(9): Clarify local variable guideline
  
  The intent of this guideline is to avoid creating global variables in module
  scope. Its main purpose is to serve as a reminder that variables at module
  scope also need to be declared.
  
  We want to avoid global variables in general, but this is easier to mess up
  when designing things in the module scope.
