Ok.

Thanks ;-)

I was asking for comments about the performance of this approach 
and/or design choices: for instance, in the case an explicit
dictionary is passed, it could make sense to use it for interpolation,
without merging it with the locals and globals. I could add a default
argument to set this behavior, but I am not sure if this is worthwhile ...
