Just to see if I have a correct mental model of what Guido proposed, I drew
a picture:

The cells are the small blank boxes. I guess the celldict would be the
stuff I labelled "module dict". The "func cells" would be an array like
fastlocals, but would refer to cells in the module's dict. I'm not clear
where/how builtins are accessed though. Is that what the extra indirection
is, or are builtins incorporated into the module dict somehow?
If anyone wants to correct my picture, the Dia diagram is at
