OK, OK.  So Ranjit is perhaps a bit paranoid.  That doesn't mean that
no one is trying to kill him.  I think the idea he proposed of putting
a limit on the ARexx Interpreter is a good idea.  It deserves some 
thoughtfull comment.  Could we see some discussion of the idea, please?

Specifically, is it possible to put in limits like Ranjit proposes?
Will they do what he intends?  What are alternative methods?  What are
the drawbacks/advantages to these alternatives?

PS: nobody came through with an offer of retrofittable links for 1.3,
    does that mean they don't exist?  I still want 'em if someone has
    'em(hint, hint).
