var SECRET = {};

someOtherLib.add(
  // It is impossible for someOtherLib to get SECRET.
  privacy.wrap(SECRET)
);

someOtherLib.later(function(stuff) {
  // The only way to get SECRET back is using privacy.unwrap. Even though
  // someOtherLib clearly had stuff, and it is impossible for someOtherLib to
