Unfortunately, we're back to the chicken-and-the-egg... if I could guarantee 
that my code was the first to ever run on any page, almost none of the 
problems I'm complaining about would be an issue, because I could just make 
sandboxed copies of what I needed, and store them privately inside a 
closure. Being able to "run-first" is the key component that isn't true, and 
if it were true (which is required of "initSES.js"), then I wouldn't need 
"initSES.js".

So, while I agree that the direction of SES seems to be along the lines I am 
asking for, the interim story doesn't really hold much water. The good news 
is that some movement is happening toward it. I hope that continues.

Is the thought that you would have a similar opt-in to "SES" as you do 
"strict mode", eventually? Or something else?
