Okay, now my head hurts.  :)

A switch in a class doesn't need to be treated the same as a global switch, 
because locals()!=globals() in that case.

I think the top-level is the only thing that really needs a special case 
vs. the general "error if you use a local variable in the expression" rule.

Actually, it might be simpler just to always reject local variables -- even 
at the top-level -- and be done with it.
