After further study, it appears this approach won't work because it
breaks "yield" --- AFAICT, Python only allows "yield" inside a "def".

At this point I think what we need is to find a way of passing the
function parameters honestly, that is, as actual parameters in the
manufactured call. I've not looked into how that might be done.
