Why does C# disallow readonly local variables?

Question

Having a friendly debate with a co-worker about this. We have some thoughts about this, but wondering what the SO crowd thinks about this?

Answer 1

I would like local readonly variables in the same manner as I like local const variables. But it has less priority than other topics.
Maybe its priority is the same reason for C# designers to not (yet!) implement this feature. But it should be easy (and backward compatible) to support local readonly variables in future versions.
