Can you provide the use-case you're looking to address with this?  As 
Dan mentioned, this would be pretty hairy from a security perspective 
since the guest could do things it's not supposed to be able to do but 
if you've got something specific in mind, there might be another way to 
achieve the same results without compromising security.
