I'm sorry, upon re-reading my reply, I see how it looks like a
snide comment.  I apologize.  I didn't mean to malign you, and
I did indeed appreciate that the code was obviously boiled down.
I just thought:
          def named(x):
              return 'ABC%s' % str(x)
provides a function name to talk about, exhibits the same problem,
and is "simpler".
