I'm just comparing the different solutions. For most of them, the
logic and the costs/benefits are pretty clear to me. Can you
elaborate on your code? I'm not clear what you are achieving with
explicitly passing the arguments instead of simply passing some
variant of the complete locals()-dictionary.
