But it requires the frame pointer of the function where it was defined. I think
it's an impossible request.

Voldemort types cannot merely not be named outside their enclosing function,
they cannot be created. It's not just a namespace privacy.
If you are using one, you are saying that .init does not exist for that type.

I think in this case it is wrong library design -- they shouldn't be used here.
