Process isolation

[jockm]

@jockm I know you care about this but this does fit under the "Process Isolation" theme if you want to launch a .py within a .py and have them be isolated.

Scoped allocation

No, but it is very interesting and very cool. Thanks for pointing that out!

Scoped allocation

Just wondering but isn't this too far away from 'process isolation' to be practically useful here? If I understand it correctly the only thing this does is allocate from another heap; scope is still shared though so calling it 'isolation' seems far fetched?

For the case of process isolation, you would set the globals to “NULL” ie it has no access to the enclosing scope.
