							 |

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