Comment:

 Wait, this is one of the things we all agreed we wanted to have in our
 meetings at Harvard. Remember that the user still has to have sudo
 privileges to setcap the interpreter binary -- so this doesn't mean that
 we are obtaining extra privileges that were not there before, instead it
 means that we are restricting what permissions the interpreter is given.
