Because the implementation will add things before the exec is processed.
Then when the exec actually runs, any assignments, definitions, etc,
from the user supplied string will be added.
I spoke a bit too soon with the "works flawlessly" post. In addition to
your issue, there is also the problem that supplying an empty
environment does not allow the user to call necessary functions (like
scheme_eval).
So, just like an implementation, add the functions to the CapturingDict
before the exec.
One thing to keep in mind: the CapturingDict only remembers the *last*
thing created/assigned... so if the user code has more than one
def/class/name assignment, you won't have ready access to the first
items, only that last one.
