// Same origin policy implementation:
//
// Same origin policy prevents JS code from domain A from accessing JS & DOM
// objects in a different domain B. There are exceptions and several objects
// are accessible by cross-domain code. For example, the window.frames object
// is accessible by code from a different domain, but window.document is not.
//
// The JS binding code sets security check callbacks on a function template,
// and accessing instances of the template calls the callback function.
// The callback function enforces the same origin policy.
//
// Callback functions are expensive. Binding code should use a security token
// string to do fast access checks for the common case where source and target
// are in the same domain. A security token is a string object that represents
// the protocol/url/port of a domain.
//
// There are special cases where security token matching is not enough.
// For example, JS can set its domain to a super domain by calling
// document.setDomain(...). In these cases, the binding code can reset
// a context's security token to its global object so that the fast access
// check will always fail.

// Helper to check if the current execution context can access a target frame.
// First it checks same domain policy using the lexical context.
//
// This is equivalent to KJS::Window::allowsAccessFrom(ExecState*).
