What kind of change do you envision? Will it change the output of this command?

  zsh -c 'f() { local -i x; echo $x; }; f'

If yes, it'll likely break a lot of code (it'll surely break my code).
If no, then the behavior of the following command should also stay
unchanged for consistency:

  zsh -c 'f() { local x; echo ${x-y}; }; f'
