local variables should be determined at compile time, thus local
variables defined first in the eval'ed string, can only be accessed from
other eval'ed strings.  In addition, they will be more ephemeral in
Ruby2, so that these variables will not be accessed from outside.

In summary, I recommend you not to use local variables for your
purpose.  They are wrong tool for it.
