Local object vars inaccessible in static var declaration

See original GitHub issue

When attempting to compile /vg/station, the following error occurs: Error at code\game\machinery\atmoalter\canister.dm:128:14: Unknown identifier "icon" at the following location:

126 /obj/machinery/portable_atmospherics/canister/proc/pressure_overlays(var/state)
127 	var/static/list/status_overlays_pressure = list(
128 		image(icon, "can-o0"),
129 		image(icon, "can-o1"),
130 		image(icon, "can-o2"),
131 		image(icon, "can-o3")
132 	)
133 
134 	return status_overlays_pressure[state]

It seems that it doesn’t recognize it’s own icon as a var, or else it’s conflicting with the fact that the first arg of image() is also called icon, or something.

Yes, that’s exactly it.

It’s the same way in BYOND, it just silently errors and treats it as null

Yes, pretty much. It might be helpful to have the error message give more information in the specific case of accesses in static var initialization, but if that’s not simple to implement it seems fine as-is.
