   I am sure libv8 has some tweak to make this happen, we do not have it exposed though. Maybe walk all the props on window and set them as top level vars?

I can define window, but that doesn't help when the JS is looking at location or document or any other number of things. I presume things like that work because window is the global object, and they're defined there (window.location, window.document, etc.) Is there a way to specify the global object? — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

   Yeah, that's the backup plan.

   I am guessing it is something like this:

   I support a PR that gives us something like this I guess?

   context.global = "{a: 1, b: 2 }"
   puts context.eval("a") => 1
