Without compiler support for this construct we have no hope of getting
references to outer non-global scopes right. E.g.
def f():
x = 12
def g():
return "x is $x".sub()
return g
Here the compiler has no clue that g references x, so it wouldn't do
the special treatment for x that's needed to make it work.
I see no way to fix this in general without introducing new syntax;
note that the string "x is $x" could have been an argument to g().
