So now you're going to attempt to defeat my idea by
suggesting that it chalks up to nothing more than a safety
measure? How many times must i explain the simple concept
of stateless subroutines and hazards of the current 
incarnation Python FUNCtions (You smell the func!)

Yes you gain safety by utilizing such an implementation 
over the current implementation, however you also trim
a negative attribute of the language. Not to mention the
intuitive and readability gains.
