Fair enough.  I have an idea for a simple way to implement this.  But
I can't find where the hole-poking is actually being done - it's
apparently not via a hack_restrict() call, which is what I'd have
expected.  Can you give me a file and line number?

I'm generally opposed to adding more interface knobs.  The
configuration language is tricky enough as it is.  Why do you think
we might need one?
