Dmitry had a later note which combined creation of the context and 
loading of the script.  But I suspect one thing people will want to do, 
in development anyway, is load multiple scripts into a context - like 
you can in workers.  Which would mean we'd still need a function to load 
a script, or the only way to load a script would be by also creating a 
new context - which is much like the serverJS module concept.
