Ah... Ok, gotcha...
Now, you realize that "info()" can also be called as "this.info()", right?
So, you are implying that you want the basic class of the "script" object
not to expose any method, much like an empty interface...
So, the only thing we should expose are 3 read only properties:
cocoon: an instance of Cocoon
log: an instance of Log
flow: an instance of Flow

"Flow" in my mind is the whole kit and caboodles: it's the "Cocoon Flow", a
set of API to do something.
The "Flow" in my mind is made up by:
- "Cocoon", an interface to talk to the cocoon internals
- "Log" the logging facility
- "Interpreter" whatever executes our script
- Other objects (such as "Continuation") which instances we can get from the
three above mentioned instances...
"Flow" is tha package (IDL module), "Interpreter" is the connection to the
scripting engine...
