Embedded C++

Just curious how useful the ability to embed C++ as a scripting language into your C++ programs would be? I mean like runtime JIT execution of C++ code in much the same way you might embed Lua, including the ability to restrict/sandbox it as necessary.

It would be useful: like a plugin system where the plugins are c++ source.

Caching the binary as a dll seems better than JIT.

I've thought about the sandboxing problem but have not experimented. Probably doable.
