    print("test_fn started")

    global global_var_1
    local_var_1 = (1,2,3)

    ic(exfiltrate())

    print("test_fn finished")

def test_fn2(arg1=3, arg3='monkey'):
    print("test_fn2 started")

    local_var_2 = None

    ic(exfiltrate())

    print("test_fn2 finished")

test_fn(arg1=10)
ic(exfiltrated)
test_fn2()
ic(exfiltrated)

>>> test_fn started
