Ironically, I _fixed_ my original problem by _adding_ a
default-argument-hack.  This meant my lambda no longer used a global name
but a local one.

Well, I think it ironic anyway :)

For the record, the only reason I had to use exec in that case was because
the "new" module is not capable creating a new method.  Trying to compile a
block of code with a "return" statement but no function decl (to create a
code object suitable for a method) fails at compile time.
