Subject: Finer-grained Alternative to Ruby Safe Levels


Hello,

I couldn't locate any mention of this subject on the mailing lists or
Google, or in the latest code in trunk.

I'm unsure whether there was a specific reason $SAFE levels provide rigid
control, so I was wondering about core's view on a finer-grained
alternative to ruby's $SAFE levels. I'm thinking of Java's
SecurityManager[1], although that's only one specific implementation that
might not be the best for ruby's dynamic nature.
