Log Message:
Shave another .8+ microseconds out, while still in Python.  It seems that
modifying variables referenced by an enclosed function is slower, even if
the nested function is never even created, let alone invoked.  This makes
sense, of course, but I didn't realize it would be measurable.  However,
because the variables referenced by the nested function were set four times
and accessed two, the total time apparently adds up to around .8uS.  Of
course, this change slows down expression calculation, but it will get
sped back up via C at some point, along with the rest of the fast path.
