I have two ideas for this, a module-level global, or a flag set on the

"from module import edir", there are two obvious ways to set the global:
import module
module.dunders = False
# -or-
edir.__globals__['dunders'] = False
Alternatively, I can use a flag set on the function object itself:
edir.dunders = False
For most situations, the last one is extremely surprising - attributes
on functions aren't normally meant to be changed by outside callers,
I find this viewpoint surprising, since function attributes are fairly rare.
it always feels wrong (they belong to the function itself).
This seems silly -- a function is just another instance of some class.
