How to know if script is being run within Nashorn

[A. Sundararajan]

If you are using javax.script API to run your scripts with nashorn, you 
can for "engine" variable. This is of type javax.script.ScriptEngine. 
Something like...

if (typeof engine != 'undefined' ) {
   // perhaps further check for engine instanceof javax.script.ScriptEngine
   ....

}
