If your keys_for definition were nested inside your complex_user
definition then I think that would resolve the variable scoping
issue. If it works at all, that is, which I'm not sure it would.
Otherwise, your approach relies on dynamic scoping, which should evoke
a warning in 2.7.x and will fail in 2.8.x.
