[New-bugs-announce] [issue32413] Document that locals() may return globals()

[Steven D'Aprano]

New submission from Steven D'Aprano <steve+python at pearwood.info>:

The obvious documentation for locals() fails to mention that when called from the top level of a module (outside of a function or class body) it returns the same dict as globals().
