How to call a top level function in a script when there are multiple versions

[Tim Fox]

I should add - I can work around this pretty easily by simply executing 
a JavaScript fragment in the scope I want, e.g.

engine.eval("if (typeof vertxStop === 'function') vertxStop();", 
theCorrectScriptContext);

So it's not a huge deal, but would be nice to be able to call a top 
level function directly from Java in a specific scope.
