Way too much overhead by a really significant margin: I need to do many,
many, many, many, many very short (often very *very* short) little
scripts. Doing IPC to separate processes, even if they're long-running,
and handling proxying of my objects that these scripts need to read from
and tweak in certain ways, would just kill performance.

I really do need an embedded language -- and a very restricted subset of
Python is really ideal for that, which is why I'm going for this. :)
