So, you propose that every time POV code loads an external program, you
launch a full-scale virtual machine? Are we going to license something
from VMware? Are you going to ask people to buy extra licenses from
Microsoft for the copies of the operating system running inside the VM?
(Jeez, I'm starting to sound like Warp.)

Sandboxing is great for your language's own scripts/bytecode, but is
less than helpful for _external_ libraries and arbitrary programs, which
is what we were talking about.

You know you've been raytracing too long when you have gone full circle
and find your self writing a scene that contains only a shiny sphere
hovering over a green and yellow checkered plane.
