Description
Is it possible to leave the RunAsSet() function in 3.2.11.x?
I understand this was replaced with RunAs() & RunAsWait(), but i really prefer the functionality of the RunAsSet() command, as it means i don't have to specify the username & password multiple times in the script.
Surely its possible to have all 3 commands available?

RunAsSet() is a security risk that we do not need. The RunAs() and RunAsWait() functions are superior in syntax, functionality and security (although they are still not 100% secure, they are at least now more secure than RunAsSet()).

I'm not sure how its any more of a security risk to be honest...
Sure if people don't code the script right, if they want only a section runas'd and they forget to do a RunAsSet() it'll continue with the elevated user instead...
If thats the only risk involved, rather than remove it completely, why not make it a function that requires a end to pass syntax checks (e.g. require 'RunAsEnd' or something to be present)
Ofcourse, I might be overlooking/unaware another security issue with this...
