It's nice to be able to do
    local SANDBOX_WRITE=${SANDBOX_WRITE}
and then allow bash to restore the old value at the end of the
function, regardless of how it exits.  It's not the end of the world
to lose this, but it would be a bit of a shame IMHO - having to do it
manually seems a little error-prone.
