per function invocation, or more generally, as Guido said, per stack
frame. This part is obvious to me, but I should have been clearer.
Initially, it is empty and
inaccessible (unusable) from code. Each locals() call updates the
dict to a current snapshot and returns it.
I had a similar concern, and one BIG issue with it being define this way
is that you get a fundamental re-entrancy problem. If module a uses
locals(), and then calls module b that uses locals(), module a has lost
its usage.
No. Sorry about being unclear.
