I can think of no practical use, but here's an example:
--]]

local foo = 1 

function incrementfirstfoo()
  foo = foo + 1
  print(foo)
end -- incrementfirstfoo

local foo = 1

print(foo) -- prints 1
incrementfirstfoo() -- prints 2
print(foo) -- prints 1
incrementfirstfoo() -- prints 3
print(foo) -- prints 1
incrementfirstfoo() -- prints 4
print(foo) -- prints 1
incrementfirstfoo() -- prints 5
print(foo) -- prints 1
