So it seems they can only "copy and paste" if an experienced security 
expert has first provided a RAM dump.

While always an issue with every dynamically-compiled language, how easy 
is it to fully dump RAM?  Has anyone here successfully done it?

Still, I agree it merits consideration.

Given the nature of the language static compilation may not be possible. 
  What other means may be useful?

I think I may have missed some posts:  what is "MG" and who is "John"?
