There are also some dynamic/security tradeoffs that BigCorp would make
differently.  In python, I can reset the values of sys.*, and it will
affect other programs running on the same virtual machine.  There
isn't really any good way to detect (let alone prevent) this.  [Err,
unless you count running different processes on different virtual
machines, which is what they already do in for Java *in practice*, but
... somehow it isn't acceptable to rely on that.]
