It doesn't need to: the unix filesystem already does. I said that was a
contrived example, but I'm sure you will find some real ones eventually.

Slightly less contrived:

1. notice that oops, the cd burning script will do something evil if
   passed a certian type of iso.
2. send in a fixed script
3. run it

You really don't want step 2 to be intercepted here either.
