I think that having tag methods for locals would kill the performance edge
of local variables.

I don't see how ag methods for locals would help here: title, firstName,
lastName would be parsed as *global* variables.
You'd have to declare them as local, but in this case, why not write
 local title, firstName, lastName = self.title, self.firstName, self.lastName
