-From Ohklus: '''Do not overwrite this function!''' You'll have a very hard time finding the reason for those nasty "sry, your addon was blocked cause it called a secure function" errors.
-My example: hitting the escape key should just open the game menu. If you overwrite SetCVar you'll get the error each time you press Esc (except when closing a window). The error is released by the Blizzard UI functions [[API_SpellStopCasting]], [[API_SpellStopTargeting]] and [[API_ClearTarget]], because they appear in [[API_ToggleGameMenu]]. I've got no idea why SetCVar is called between hitting Esc and reaching [[API_ToggleGameMenu]].
