And perl has a scripting system that isn't unnecessarily crippled.
RB could so easily give full access to classes and functions, just
like perl does. RS give this strange argument that people could write
scripts to erase your file system, but don't perl users have the same
problem???
I was under the impression, from an old thread that Mars responded to on
this topic, that RS did think it was a good idea to allow outside objects
into scripts, but that they hadn't done the work yet.

I seem to remember lots of people saying it would be a bad idea, but not
from RS.
BTW, here's the feedback for adding this capability for anyone who hasn't
signed onto it yet (maybe it would be a priority if there were a couple
hundred votes):

I really, really, REALLY want to see improved RBScripts. After UB, I would
take this before any other feature.
