There's also the fact that various features like file-local variables
mean that opening /some/file/some/where can be dangerous if that file or
some parent directory is under the control of an attacker.
We do some effort to protect against such holes, but the risk is very
real: it only takes a single package setting safe-local-variable too
optimistically (such as elpa/packages/ada-mode recently, IIRC).
