What do we think of adding a built-in nonlocals() function that would be similar to globals() and locals()? These scopes don't have parallel capabilities:

Maybe it would be better to deprecate globals() and locals() and replace them with another function called something like scope(). It would return a mapping object that looks up names in the current scope. It could also improve on locals() by being writable.
