---------------
External methods are often useful as an "escape hatch" when
Zope's security policy prevents you from using a Script (Python)
or DTML to do a particular job that requires more access than is
"safe" in through-the-web-editable scripts. For example, a
Script (Python) cannot write to files on your server's
filesystem, while an External Method may.

Is this not a huge security issue?
