That may have been the design plan, but in Python 2.7.6, I definitely
am able to inject locals via PyEval_GetLocals() and have them be visible
both from the C and Python side; see also

Ok, that's good to know because it rules out doing this without having
an explicit reference to the variable in the inner scope. Thanks.
