[Ronald] I gave it quite a bit of thought, but can't find a valid
reason for denying this feature in RBScript.
Think harder and think about Design by Contract and subverting
meaning :-)
I think this is one of the most fundamental reasons why people can
trust using RBScript for scripts exposed to the end-user.
At the very least, if RS gave into pressure and implemented this
feature I would demand that they do it with
1) an optional flag
2) that the option default to OFF for object-passing support so
nobody can be surprised by it being suddenly available.
I am glad to hear that RS have tightened security by closing this
inadvertent loophole.
