Built-in Mathematica Symbol

MatchLocalNames
is an option for Trace and related functions which specifies whether symbols such as x should match symbols with local names of the form x$nnn.

MORE INFORMATION

The default setting is MatchLocalNames->True.

With the default setting, Trace[expr, x=rhs] will show assignments to local variables whose names are of the form x$nnn.

Trace[expr, x=rhs, MatchLocalNames->False] shows assignments only for the global symbol x.
