[issue45707] Variable reassginment triggers incorrect behaviors of locals()

[Josh Rosenberg]

Josh Rosenberg <shadowranger+python at gmail.com> added the comment:

This is a documented feature of locals() (it's definitionally impossible to auto-vivify *real* locals, because real locals are statically assigned to specific indices in a fixed size array at function compile time, and the locals() function is returning a copy of said bindings, not a live view of them).
