Local inner functions



Hi all,

I often use the construct of defining a function inside another
function. Now I discovered, that these pour into the environment, i.e.
if I have

foo ()
{
   bar () { }
}

and I execute "foo", "bar" is now visible in my environment.

Is there some way of making 'bar' to be local to 'foo'? Using the
'local' keyword does not work :).

I know, that in principle it is possible to explicitly 'unfunction'
functions, but this is not a usable way sometimes.

Thanks for your help,
René
