That completely goes against your idea of knowing at compile-time,
because the name "two" isn't anywhere around at that time.

There's no way to know what name was used to look something up. It
might not even have a name - the called function could well have been
returned from another function:

# foo.py
def indirection():
  return lambda: print

# bar.py
import foo
foo.indirection()()("Hello, world!")

What are the names of all the functions called here?
