    Why not define a new sub foo-mode-locally to toggle it in current buffer 
    when it is a global minor mode?

Two different commands is the way we do it now.
In the current scheme; foo-mode is the local toggle
and global-foo-mode is the global toggle.

I think the current scheme is better than making foo-mode the global
command.
