Is there any POSIX-y shell that does not implement "local"?

In Kornshell variable-attributes/properties are regularly specified
using 'typeset' and thus the 'typeset' keyword is also used to create
function-"local" variables.

There's no 'local' keyword in Kornshell, and there's also no alias of
that name defined for 'typeset'[*].

[*] As opposed to the predefined aliases
nameref='typeset -n'
integer='typeset -i'
float='typeset -E'
etc.
