/*
 * Below you'll notice two sets of APIs that are separated by the
 * use of 'Unsafe' in their names.  The unsafe versions are called
 * that because they do not propagate the calling stack onto the
 * worker thread.  This allows code to lose the calling stack and 
 * thereby elevate its security privileges.  Note that this operation
 * is much akin to the combined ability to control security policy
 * and control security evidence.  With these privileges, a person 
 * can gain the right to load assemblies that are fully trusted which
 * then assert full trust and can call any code they want regardless
 * of the previous stack information.
