careful: when you get as far as executing the "def" statement, the
function body has already been compiled. the byte code for the function
is stored as a module-level constant:
>>> code = compile("def func(arg): print arg", "", "exec")
>>> dis.dis(code)
1 0 LOAD_CONST 0 (<code object func ...>)
3 MAKE_FUNCTION 0
6 STORE_NAME 0 (func)
