Any hints on adding unit restrictions to a mission script?

Obviously a mod itself can define exactly which units can/cant be built, but ... how easy is it to define this in a mission script?

I guess, off the top of my head, one way to do this could be to create a mod for each mission, which then references some core mod. The mission-script mod will then set all units as unbuildable except those that are required for that particular mission?

Startscripts can use the unit restriction feature of Spring.

Super! Do you have an example?

Just start a game with restricted units and look in the script.txt?

Ah.... hmmm.... ok. I hadn't realized that you meant the start.txt script (lua scripts are in a "startscripts" folder, but that's something different).

Whilst that's cool in that it does give a way forward, some way of applying restrictions from within a lua script itself would make missions more self-contained, and easier for people to use.
