Get the surrounding namespace.
Parameters
----------
level : int, optional
How far to go back to get the locals/globals. Each function/method
call should add ``1`` to this argument, functions/method with a
decorator have to add ``2``.
Returns
-------
namespace : dict
The locals and globals at the given depth of the stack frame.

# a specific object with an incorrect type instead of going through this big
# list now to check the types of all objects

-------
namespace : dict
The unit namespace
