```
public static LocalReference of(java.lang.Object name)
```

    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the reference
    
    Returns:
    
    a local reference to the variable named after the argument

  - replaceElement
```
protected void replaceElement(GoloElement<?> original,
                              GoloElement<?> newElement)
```
    Replace a child.
    Replace original with newElement if original is a child of this node and type matches.
    
    Specified by:
    
    replaceElement in class GoloElement<LocalReference>
    
    Parameters:
    
    original - the original value to replace. Must be a child of this node
    
    newElement - the element to replace with. Type must match.
