As long as it is possible to **write** to existing keys to **add new

Out of interest, why would you want to add new keys to the locals of a
function frame?
I use it for remote execution in human-friendly manner.
I plan to opensource the lib for everybody to use, so I was a worried
that this change could break it.
The function will never be able to use those values.
I realize quite now that the use-case usually is on module-level where
locals=globals:
>>> import sys
>>> frame=sys._getframe(0)
>>> frame.f_locals['testvar']='testvalue'
>>> print(testvar)
testvalue
>>>
So, setting a var was never an issue; also probably because it's
seldomly used in this context.
Funny enough, that the lib would even start to work properly when
functions-locals would be writable.
Regards,
Sven
