'Show relative speeds of local, nonlocal, global, and built-in access.'

# Please leave this code so that it runs under older versions of
# Python 3 (no f-strings).  That will allow benchmarking for
# cross-version comparisons.  To run the benchmark on Python 2,
# comment-out the nonlocal reads and writes.
