Preloading globals throws NameError

[patiences]

glbs = globals 
glbs() 

Unexpectedly this throws a NameError: name 'globals' is not defined. But

globals()

is fine.

This is a little tricky because globals() and locals() and vars() are implemented on the AST side (see ast.py#visit_Call). If one of globals, locals, or vars is looked up as an attribute and used as a function later, then I'm not sure whether it's possible to do it all on the AST side.
