class DslBlock

  # The Executor class is designed to run a block of code in isolation
  # for the DslBlock class. By running it in a 'sandbox', the block
  # of code cannot inadvertently access protected and private methods
  # within the DslBlock without explicate declaration by the DslBlock.
  # To the user, it will appear that the block runs directly in the
  # DslBlock but in a partly restricted manner if they care to investigate.
  # In this fashion, executor is effectively a transparent proxy.
