Personally I'd never use a construct like this. Just expose private
variables as you go. Using eval is dangerous, especially because I
don't quite see the point of the regex. I mean, what is clean() trying
to do? `alert('foo');` is going to go through...
Also, as a nit, it is "perfectly valid" (though quite silly) to use a
unicode escape in variable names ;) I suppose it doesn't really apply
to this case, but whatever.
