Re: Calling scripts within scripts

Currently today you need to do

GroovyShell shell = new GroovyShell()
shell.evaluate()

When we get around to adding 'modules' or 'optional class 
augmentations' (or whatever we call them) we could well have a syntax 
to 'use' helper methods like this.

(see the comments for some interesting discussion)
