This is something we need to point out when talking about all the
various facilities for creating applications.  While there is a tendency
to leap straight to Python, there are advantages to the facilities of
DTML scripting, the Lever, and Classes.

In this case, since DTML works pretty hard to disallow or prevent
various ways to hose a process and/or machine, it is more trustworthy
than straight Python.
