just think of us needing to build a runtime structure "copying" what is 
in a normal class (plus some changes) available in terms of fields and 
methods. If you don't generate that information (and you cannot for 
unknown classes), then how can you get that without using reflection and 
things like getDeclaredMethods. (not to mention several properties and 
many other things).

In other words: it is imho impossible to run even a single Groovy 
program without giving it some permissions.
