I didn't know about request.getfuncargvalue(). Yup, that seems like a nice way
to solve my problem, thanks!
Quick note though (for other people reading): I made a quick test and the
argument to getfuncargvalue() is a string, so the correct way to call it is
request.getfuncargvalue('monkeypatch').
Thanks again,
Virgil
