No preference on the internal mechanism :)

The part I was unsure about was whether in this case test writer will
want to mix the contexts:

	fq = FuncDeferQueue()
	fq.defer(...) # this one is called when function exits
	defer(...)    # this one is global

or not:

	defer_func_context()
	# any defer after this is assumed to be func-level
	defer(...)

so probably best to wait until we have some real examples.
