That's one of the beauties of restructuring fossil as a library: we don't
need to embed any language at all. Instead, they can be built on top of the
library. Yes, we'll want/need one "standard" interpreter for unit test
purposes, but that will "almost certainly" end up being TCL or jimtcl,
simply for reasons of historical momentum.
