I think there is a technical reason for using uqualified locals: it  
makes allows derivation by restriction by types in other namespaces.

The difficulty is that derivation by restriction (unlike extension)  
requires one to repeat the original type definition contents. If the  
derivation is in another namespace, then the locals cannot be defined  
in the original namespace.
