// loads script from an object's properties. 

// Object should have "script" and "name" properties.
//     "script" property contains string code of the script. 
//     "name" property specifies name to be used while reporting errors from script
// This is almost like the standard "eval" except that it associates a name with
// the script string for debugging purpose.

load({ script: "print('hello')", name: "myscript.js"})

// load can also load from pseudo URLs like "nashorn:", "fx:". "nashorn:" pseudo URL scheme
// for nashorn's built-in scripts. "fx:" pseudo URL scheme for JavaFX support scripts

// load nashorn's parser support script - defines 'parse'
// function in global scope

load("nashorn:parser.js"); 

// load Mozilla compatibility script - which defines global functions
// like importPackage, importClass for rhino compatibility.

load("nashorn:mozilla_compat.js");
