The scope of a lexical local starts after its declaration and extends
to the end of the containing block.  A local function is just like any
other local variable in that regard.  One way of doing what you seem
to want is to declare « local bar » above, then use « bar = function()
... end ».  Another, more obvious way would be to just let it be a
'global' (in the current environment table).
