Untrusted PL/Tcl?

Hi all,

    there  have  been a couple of questions WRT doing untrustable
    things like file access, LDAP and the  like  from  inside  of
    triggers or functions.

    Tcl  is  a  powerful  language and could do all that, but the
    interpreter used in PL/Tcl is a safe one,  because  it  is  a
    trusted  procedural  language  (any  non-superuser can create
    functions). I think it should  be  pretty  easy  to  build  a
    second   PL  handler  into  the  module,  that  executes  the
    procedures in a full featured Tcl interpreter, that  has  all
    capabilities. This one would be installed as an untrusted PL,
    so  only  DB  superusers  could  create  functions  in   that
    language.

    Should  I  go  for  it and if so, how should this language be
    named?
