[Python-ideas] Jump to function as an an alternative to call function

one more thought:

given that:

I wonder why locals doesn't return a Mapping Proxy, or other read-only
mapping object?

If it's not guaranteed to be THE locals dict, and changes *may* not affect
the real one (but may), a read-only object seems like much safer idea.
