Yes, the fact that this potential feature is being lumped in with the
concept of 'security' levels is misleading and unhelpful.  Nobody is
wanting it to provide security, we all know it won't do that, that's not
why we want it.  Any reply which says "This won't provide any real
security" is not actually addressing the reasons for this feature
request.  Honest  :)
