Function locals, module globals and program universals would make more
sense to me - outer layers have a broader scope than inner layers.
If we wanted to beat the metaphor to death we could even rename nonlocal

P.S. Just to be clear, I am definitely NOT suggesting that renaming
nonlocal like that would be a good idea :)
