  72. generate a string replacement for each of the <var>name</var> arguments, and
  73. replace any instances of <var>name</var> in each macro expansion. The
  74. replacement string is unique in the assembly, and different for each
  75. separate macro expansion. <code>LOCAL</code> allows you to write macros that
  76. define symbols, without fear of conflict between separate macro expansions.
