I tried to simplify this further, but how to do that?  The exec
statement is executed for its effects in the *present* namespace.
Thus, it won't do to put the exec in a function/method, unless it is
possible to transfer the effects of the exec into the *callers*
namespace.  I do not know any way to do that, even if (as I attempted
to do) the wrapper method compares the before and after snapshots of
the local namespace. Clear?

In short, I think using a top-level exec is in fact the simplest and
clearest way.
