However, there is still *some* connection with the frame, though it's
subtle. In particular the LC (using PEP v3 terms) for a generator is tied
to that generator's frame (it becomes the top of the EC stack whenever that
generator is resumed). I don't think we should call this out in the naming
scheme though.
