Makes me wonder if stepping back and thinking, instead, about a way to

I think that would violate the expectation that a function call means
the same thing in different contexts, hence f-strings work by supplying
values at the "call site" not variables. I know you will find exceptions
(like import context), but they are not as all-consuming as snapping the
entire namespace. If you really want to, there's sys._getframe.
