Hm, okay, so suppose the code analysis was good enough to recognize most un-obfuscated uses of locals(), exec() and eval() (and presumably sys._getframe() -- IIUC there's already a Python implementation that generates less optimal code for functions where it detects usage of sys._getframe(), maybe IronPython).
Yep, it's IronPython.

Plus if the calculation raises an exception and I'm looking at the report on Sentry, I'd like to see the values of all variables. In particular I might have expected the function to return early and I want to see what `x` was.
That's a very valid objection. For simpletons like myself who just use pdb it could also be problematic. So at the very least there would have to be a way to turn it off, and probably it should have to be requested explicitly (maybe just with -O).
