This might actually be an option...

If you let the _server_ examine the code on load / execution.
Since it is possible to intercept external calls - like fopen().

Recent messages show that we even can let the server compile
the plugin - "runtime / compiletime processing proof of concept"
And since it does the compilation it can chose which headers are allowed.
