Imo moving this into its own restore function wouldn't hurt. Theres'
quite a few divergent paths here now and a lot of conditionals
involving $local. Imo untangling this would make everything easier to
reason about, reduce the potential for unwanted regressions and make
the code a lot clearer (at the cost of some slight duplication...).
