So why is it “hellish” for JITs if locals() returns a proxy, while frame.flocals being a proxy is okay?

As I understand it, they already drop out of compiled mode if they detect that the code is tinkering with frame objects.

Having a single locals() call de-optimize an entire function would be far from ideal.

Cheers, Nick.
