Encrypted External Files (Functions)

I'd like to see the ability to create encrypted modules with Corona SDK that could then be used as a "black box" within other programs.

In other words, Smart Sally creates a code library that rotates green widgets and she encrypts it. Now she can sell that library (along with a license key) and not worry about people taking her code. The end-developer does local xyz = require("widget.enc") and is able to use the functions in that library because Corona SDK unencrypts it when compiled.

Yes, I love source code as much as anyone else, but this would make it easy to create trial or lite versions of software libraries without giving away the whole thing.

An emphatic +1 for this.
