I am using the package protected classes from the Beanshell API to 
access its AST. So if this is to happen I would like to have access to 
the ASTs in another form. In any case I think a scripting language 
should be more forgiving and liberal than a strictly typed language and 
when such access is possible even in a strict language like Java, it 
makes no sense to me to make such restrictions in Beanshell.
