Redirected since this seemed like a Python 3000 kind of request.  I
like the idea, particularly because it coincides well with my usual
uses for global/globals().  Seems like it might require some changes
in things like eval and exec that take locals and globals dicts, but I
don't know how much of a drawback that is.
