Is it intentional that locals() returns a copy/snapshot of the local variables sometimes, and sometimes a reference? Like when enabling tracing, such as in the code pasted below. The documentation ("Update and return a dictionary containing the current scope's local variables.") is pretty unclear.

Yes, it does, and that's why the documentation says changing it is undefined. :) -- Regards, Benjamin
