I don't believe he was looking to use it as part of his code, but rather as
an option for test drivers or those that wish to use his packages.

Any serious code is going to include library level functions, etc that would
eliminate a need for Unrestricted_Access.

When working on my GUI classes, I have been a VERY happy camper to have
Unrestricted_Access around for quick testing and even for small little apps
that use the classes.
