I'm not sure that's possible. If I understand correctly,
part of the definition of "parent local" is that "parent"
refers to the nearest enclosing *non-comprehension* scope,
to give the expected result for nested comprehensions.
If that's so, then it's impossible to fully decouple its
definition from comprehensions.
