+
+@isLocalVar@ returns True of all TyVars, and of Ids that are defined in
+this module and are not constants like data constructors and record selectors.
+These are the variables that we need to pay attention to when finding free
+variables, or doing dependency analysis.

+\begin{code}
+isLocalVar :: Var -> Bool
+isLocalVar v = isTyVar v || isLocalId v
+\end{code}

+\begin{code}
+mustHaveLocalBinding :: Var -> Bool
+-- True <=> the variable must have a binding in this module
+mustHaveLocalBinding v = isTyVar v || (isLocalId v && not (hasNoBinding v))
