Research direction

Start by locating where this module creates and disposes its iframe or real context after each run. Compare that lifecycle with the Node vm example in the issue, then verify that a value assigned to Array in one run remains available in a later run using the same context.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In node vm:

var c = vm.createContext({});
vm.runInContext('Array.foo = 1', c);
assert(1 === vm.runInContext('Array.foo'));

And that's not the case in this module because it disposes of iframe (real context) after each run.
