The implementation could watch resource allocation. I
would like to see more security enhanced handling in
Ruby. My view of what it should handle should consist
of

(=) compile/config restrictions(*would be nice on
shared servers);
---- internal file size write/read restrictions)
---- open files
---- a designed class to specify limitations on
external libraries (*ex. have config where can can
specify how many mysql-ruby open connections can exist
set by system admin)
---- max cpu time
---- memory usage

There are more restrictions applicable, but these are
just to get the explaination of my idea of built in
restrictions started.

I know there are limits on unix systems, but limits is
not on every system. Implementation of these few ideas
would be nice, especially the memory and max cpu time
:)
