ICodeAssist.codeSelect(...) on local variables returns the local's type not the local itself. Should it be UI responsibility to deceide
what to do when asking for code assist on locals. 

The concrete case: we are using code assist to convert a selection into a java element to activate an action that can work on that 
java element (for example a rename refactoring). Selecting a local variable and doing so pops up the rename type wizards which 
looks a little but strange for locals.

	Code selection answers Java elements. There is no element for a local variable, thus we answer the variable type.

	Answering the variable type is good when you want to do an open on selection, but it is problematic
	for the refactoring from a code selection described above. Changed the PR into a DCR that code
	select should return additional information for local variables. There should at least be info that the selection
	is a local variable.
	A workaround is that we use the AST instead of code select to find out what is selected.

	Along the same path, we should be able to surface local types and their members as well.
