I'm inclined to introduce a new pre-defined object, "global" (or GD) to save 
the shared data.  My idea is not to let normal functions modify it, but only 
the start-up process Andrew is thinking of can modify it and after that it's 
read-only.

Maybe my Separate Context approach was wrong; Still, we have function-local 
"this" object.

Something not modifiable won't meet the case. It's intended as a 
between-invocation stash.

But the behavior is unpredictable as the invocation order may be changed during 
planning.  What's the real world use case?

Invocation order is only unpredictable when a statement calls more than one 
function. The real world use case is as a stash for data between statements. 
That's how it's used in PLPerl and PLPython.

My concern is JavaScript is fragile language.  A lot of premature developers 
break the runtime environment by modifying the global variable and builtin 
objects.  That is, if that is the case, today you can assign any properties to 
the plv8 object which is visible from everyone.

And there has been a lot of effort to guard this nature from the language 
specification like Object.freeze(), Object.seal(), plus from the framework like 
commonJS where each module can play only in the separated namespace.

I think it's enough to just have plv8 as it stands today, isn't it?  The object 
can have any property except for pre-defined functions.  If there's no 
objection, I'm closing this.
