'local mode' advertises purity-of-heart. It means "This function  
references no global variables, and therefore avoids a potent cause of  
difficulty in understanding and debugging".

'clear' advertises laziness. It means "Some local vars may need to be  
zeroed initially, but I can't be bothered working out which, if any,  
so I'll just zero the lot. Who cares about efficiency?"
As a matter of policy, 'clear' is not allowed in the source for FBtoC.
