Bingo!  That's what I wish vars() would do to, and I want those
semantics, so I went with the _getframe() hack.

Plus, I got tired of writing trailing "% locals()" all over the place,
especially when they cluttered the code even more with long lines,
requiring continuation via extraneous paren grouping or backslashing.
Blah.
