Where did this lcl_ convention come from?

The lcl_ prefix has no meaning to a compiler or linker. If the intent is to
make such functions file-local, why not use the static keyword, or an
anonymous namespace instead, so that they actually *are* local also to the
tool-chain? (You can still keep the lcl_ prefix if you love it.)
Yes, those functions should be anonymous and static. When I write that page
above back in the days, I was just documenting what was there (hoping it would
improve consistancy), in this case I am not finding that convention to have a
deep purpose(*), though it might help some for tools like simple code-completion
or doxygen-style docs ...
Best,
