If test units really seem to be important in this particular case, one possibility would be to
create a minimalistic ScriptEngine implementation in pure Java just for the sole purpose to allow
the creation of a test unit that is able to assert that FXMLLoader puts the ScriptEngine.ARGV and
ScriptEngine.FILENAME entries into the ENGINE_SCOPE Bindings. E.g. having the ScriptEngine's eval()
methods return the ScriptContext at invocation time in order to allow inspection of the Bindings.
This way it would become also possible to write in addition test units that also check whether all
FXML elements that carry a fx:id are really placed into the GLOBAL_SCOPE Bindings.
