Comment:

 I’m really not sure what to do with this. It seems incredibly plausible
 that someone is making use of this functionality and as such, locking it
 down might break their code. However, it also could be considered an
 information disclosure issue.

 Given that we haven't seen more reports, I'm tempted to leave this as is,
 but I wouldn't really be happy with that. Maybe a Make.Core post to see if
 people are using this functionality and address it early in the cycle?

 Either way, we should make a decision.
