apparently there is no problem with naming a local variable with the same
name as the type it is declared as .... ?

Public MyClass
Enum SpecialID
Special1 = 1
....
End Enum
Public Function MyFunction
Dim SpecialID As SpecialID
SpecialID = SpecialID.Special1
End Function
End Class

No, there is no problem. 'SpecialID' is not a keyword, so you don't
need square brackets around the variable's name.
