Yes, that's possible, although access to intermediate scopes
(i.e. nonlocal) will need something else.

Something I
don't really understand from a code generation perspective is the switch over
to STORE_NAME for class methods.
That's because, in this particular situation, the locals are
being kept in a dict instead of an array.
When compiling an ordinary function, th
