You could've copy-pasted it into the setup code. Or you
could've put

  from __main__ import my_function

in the setup code. I think passing in globals is just
another way of doing something you can already do.

The first time I wanted to use timeit, I wanted to define a small function
of a few lines and have that timed.  Since the function was in my global
namespace, not that of timeit, I couldn't time it.  The only other way to get
it timed would be to shove it into builtins.
