The same way 'eval("a+b")' knows to look in the local scope when evaluated.
I mean, of course 'x' could be rebound in some scope before it was
evaluated. But a "deferred" object itself would simply represent potential
computation that may or may not be performed.
If we wanted to use descriptors, and e.g. use 'x.val' rather than plain 'x'
, we could do it now with descriptors. But not with plain variable names
now.
