After looking at the partials code it doesn't appear possible. I was 
thinking perhaps we could use Kernel.local_variables to pass all local 
variables into the partial automatically but figured that would polute 
the namespace too much. So instead I opted to change the the 
render_collection_of_partials to be more like render_partials. I put a 
optional argument on render_collection_of_partials which is a hash of 
local assigns. This allows me to put the following in the parent partial:

<%=render_collection_of_partials 'baz', @more_recs, nil, 'bar' => bar%>

This way bar is in scope. If I get some time today I will try to make a 
diff of it against the Rails "head" and create the unit testing for it 
in case anybody wants the same functionality.
