Steve Dekorte: "A nice thing about Io for this stuff is that lookups always start at the local scope and follow the proto&parent chains back to the Lobby. So you could make your own isolated environment(a "Sandbox") in Io simply by copying the Lobby, removing what you don't want to be visible and remove it's proto slot - so it would be isolated from the rest of the system."
