Have you considered making 'scope' a context manager?  Your
modifying-locals hacks could be put into the __enter__ and __exit__
methods, and you'd use the context manager with something like:

with scope():
    # ...
    # use up, down, left, right here

# up, down, left, right no longer defined after the with block exits.
