+Set Local Variable not supported in RenameVariables (#593)
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+``Set Local Variable`` keyword is now supported and scope of the variable is properly preserved:
+
+```
+${variable}    Set Variable    value
+Set Global Variable    ${VARIABLE}
+Log    ${VARIABLE}
+Set Local Variable    ${variable}
+Log    ${variable}
+```
