What do we think of adding a built-in nonlocals() function that would

be similar to globals() and locals()? �Like those functions, it would

return a dictionary of variable names and their values. Since we now

have the nonlocal statement, it would be consistent to keep the

three scopes local/nonlocal/global with parallel capabilities. And it

might sometimes be useful for code inside a nested function to see

what variables are available at the enclosing level.
