/**
 * <code>ScriptEngine</code> is the fundamental interface whose methods must be
 * fully functional in every implementation of this specification.
 * <br><br>
 * These methods provide basic scripting functionality.  Applications written to this
 * simple interface are expected to work with minimal modifications in every implementation.
 * It includes methods that execute scripts, and ones that set and get values.
 * <br><br>
 * The values are key/value pairs of two types.  The first type of pairs consists of
 * those whose keys are reserved and defined in this specification or  by individual
 * implementations.  The values in the pairs with reserved keys have specified meanings.
 * <br><br>
 * The other type of pairs consists of those that create Java language Bindings, the values are
 * usually represented in scripts by the corresponding keys or by decorated forms of them.
