FF3.5 eval is undocumented, but if I'm reverse-engineering the source code
patch (http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/67944d1b207d)
correctly, it still violates encapsulation.

A restricted eval should be specified from scratch, not based on what a
poorly thought-out vendor extension happens to do.
