tracker issue : CF-3039009

Problem:

<cfset var local = {} /> within a method now created a attribute itn e variables scope instead of being ignored.  If a variable exisitns int e variables scope with the name local it will be overwritten from within a method.

According to the team this line should be ignored with the introduction of the new local scope.


Method:

Example.

<cfset var firstName= {} />

Should now go into the implicit local scope.  Which it does as local.firstName.

But

<cfset var local = {} /> does not. It goes into the variables scope.  This means if I had a cfc such as:
z.cfc
<cfcomponent output="false">
<cfset variables.local = "Big Ben" />
        <cffunction name="init" returntype="z">
    <cfset var local = {} />
                <cfdump var="#variables#" />
<cfreturn this />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

cfm:
<cfset temp = createObject("component","z").init() />
As soon as I run init() Big Ben is gone but in CF8 this would leave Big Ben alone.
Result:
