I think it's already made sufficiently tame: before running any given
version of an .envrc script, you have to explicitly say yes. Then a
hash of the script contents is saved in a custom variable, so the second
time you run the same script you don't need to confirm.
I copied that idea from the direnv program, so I want to believe that
any security holes should be due to bad implementation rather than a bad
concept.
