:-) of course, "break" is just using an exception to escape; so you
could do that too if you thought it convenient.

Space.inject is more expensive (there is a thread outside that injects
stuff, and then there is a thread inside that needs to deal with it)
and it can only affect stuff that is reachable from the space's root.
It's much better to do it all in the initial script, if you can get
away with it.

This will improve in a future release. There is already code
committed in the devel trunk that attempts to address these issues.

Ah, give me a break! These are the same people who think nothing of
having to write a couple of new classes and a dozen adapters everytime
they change their underwear :-)
