Description
Build on top of #2632 to add support for finding local variable references. Note that in order to implement this, the reference finder must now keep track of lexical scopes so that we appropriately identify local variables and their occurrences.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #2632 and the existing reference finder. Trace how references are currently found, then determine where lexical scopes must be tracked to identify local variables and their occurrences. Done means local variable references are found correctly without confusing variables from different scopes.
