Because I read the other sources (not source of definition) I get
confused, example in simple.el:
(defvar minibuffer-history-isearch-message-overlay)
(make-variable-buffer-local 'minibuffer-history-isearch-message-overlay)
Then I ask myself why did not author straight write like:
(defvar-local minibuffer-history-isearch-message-overlay)
I ask myself why that, what is the difference... then I need
assistance in clarification.
