When it's in a lib you don't control, it's useful. A wrapped C lib is
probably the best example, but even if its in someone else's gem, it's
relevant. Debugging libs takes a lot of time and effort, especially for
something nondeterministic that may or may not reproduce itself.

Rbx / JRuby / MacRuby will need resources to educate their users about how
to write safe code, and may also need to maintain a list of safe gems.
