i know.  as i said, it is an additional trick that is sometimes useful
when you have forwards references.  it's particularly useful with module
dependencies, which have the same limitation (you can import "after the
def" and so avoid circularities).

my apologies if you think my answers should be more focussed.  i am trying
to teach a man to fish.
