Booth,

There may be a few caveats, but I have used this very behaviour to keep
myself from accidently working in the wrong place. When I removed my
explicit authority, I could not use the library name to access an object
in the library. For execution, I used adopted authority. (Now don't get
excited. This was a production library that I was responsible for
maintaining.)
