Local x,y makes both x and y local?

General Usage

When I write local x,y = ..., this means that both x and y are local? Can someone confirm this? Ideally pointing to somewhere in the documentation where this is clarified. Thanks.

Easy to conduct experiment:

julia> function foo()
           x, y = 0, 0
           for i in 1:2
               local x, y = i, i
           end
           return x, y
       end
foo (generic function with 2 methods)

julia> foo()
(0, 0)

so yes.
