   I'm not particularly fond of this patch and how the `Platform` is digging quite deep into the `Sandbox` interfaces instead of letting `Sandbox` handle that bit, although this seems to already be a bit messy before the patch.
   
   Looking at this, my main concern is that we are no longer checking the sandbox config when creating a sandbox in `Element`, so this could cause some sort of regression in error reporting when actually trying to run commands in the sandbox where the config is not supported.
   
   It seems to me (and I might very well be missing something) that we need to have some semantic in `Element.__sandbox()` to dictate whether we need the sandbox for the purpose of *running commands* or not, in order to determine if we need to run this check or not.
