I understand that this is possible now, but I just don't see why it's
necessary to do it at all.
I am afraid it will make it too easy to define functions in other
modules remotely, a tempting sharp stick to poke your eye out with.
Note also, that it will not be so easy to find the definition of a
function provided as a argument to a failing function. Right now
you can get the function name and (with a bit more effort) its module.
Imagine debugging a pile of code that includes a module with:
import random
def random.random():
return .42
