It doesn't quite work though. Swapping out or assigning to
__class__, and then running:
exec(code, module.__dict__)
does not have the expected behavior. LOAD_NAME/LOAD_GLOBAL does not
care about your efforts. Accessing module globals from outside the
module does work as that is a getattr call. That is a weird
inconsistency that should be fixed if it is not too painful.
Coming up with handy syntax or whatever is a minor problem.
