Summary: Bugs of the new AST compiler

Initial Comment:
The newly merged AST branch is likely to expose
a number of small problems before it stabilizes,
so here is a tentative bug tracker entry to
collect such small problems.

A scoping problem (comparing with the old compiler):

class X:
    print hello

The variable 'hello' is incorrectly looked up with
LOAD_GLOBAL instead of LOAD_NAME.  It causes a crash
in PyPy in a case where the name 'hello' is stored
into the class implicitely (via locals()).  It can
probably be discussed if the bug is in PyPy, but it
is a difference in behavior.
