```julia
julia> using Distributed

julia> addprocs(2);

julia> @everywhere a = [1,2]

julia> @everywhere println(a)
[1, 2]
      From worker 3: [1, 2]
      From worker 2: [1, 2]

julia> a = 5
5

julia> @everywhere println(a)
5
      From worker 2: [1, 2]
      From worker 3: [1, 2]

julia> @fetchfrom 3 a[2]
ERROR: On worker 3:
BoundsError
Stacktrace:

julia> @everywhere println(a)
5
      From worker 2: [1, 2]
      From worker 3: 5

```

this above behavior is weird, how do I access the `a` on the remote?

My real use case is if I have a `@distributed` for loop, how can I ask Julia NOT to use my local (main process) variable in the body of the loop?
