The previous title, "rename type returned by locals() to livedict" did not describe the reality, since locals() returns a regular dict.
[Would you call x.__dict__ a livedict?]

So either this issue should be closed as invalid, because it's based on incorrect understandings of Python internals; or we could improve documentation about locals() in order to remove surprising behavior and (real) confusion in programmers' minds.
