But, as you show in the example, this technique does not let me figure out which of 'a' or 'b' was used to qualify global_names_bound_to_me(). And if I call my method: A().qualify global_names_bound_to_me() then I get an empty list back. Is what I want to do not possible without referring back to the source?
