No, it doesn't... Said arbitrary function in y, in untrusted language
z, could be perfectly safe for users to call. Being written in an
untrusted language has got next to nothing to do with the security
implications of a particular function. It depends entirely on what the
function is *doing*, not what language it's written in.
