Again maybe I was not very clear. The specificity of the situation was
not only the sandboxing, but the absence of the io lib. With the io
lib, you should be able to do a loadfilein like here:

  loadin(env, io.lines(filename))

(except that this does not work, because 'io.lines' cut the newlines
from the file; we intend to fix that somehow...)
