Why not having both worlds

(define_method :name 'hello_world :as (xml
  "<progn  <!-- I am sure XML will do us the favor and extend the
language for this :) -->
       <object name=\"::Method\" id=\"42\" />
       <invoke message=\"new\" target=<object ref=\"42\" /> />
    />
  ") :body '(say "Hello World"))

(xml "<progn>  <!--  But one can still use the old form -->
    <import-from-caller method=\"by-name\" name=\"hello_world\" />
     <escape-in-sandbox authorization="0d0def585e02348de-badcaffebad">
        <[<CDATA
          (hello_world)
        ]]>
      </escape-in-sandbox>
     </progn>")

Which would raise an Illegal Authorization error first and after that
being fixed we will get a Security error
"cannot say anything in a sandbox"

But do not fear I consider it extremely unlikely that Erlang, Ruby &
Clojure will rule the world ;)
