"Internal review ID 9063426: "FXMLLoader: if script engines implement javax.script.Compilabel compile scripts"

[Kevin Rushforth]

Thank you for filing this enhancement request. As an enhancement it 
should be discussed on this list before proceeding with a pull request 
(although a "WIP" or Draft PR can be used to illustrate the concept).

For my part, this seems like a reasonable enhancement, as long as there 
are no compatibility issues, but it would be good to hear from 
application developers who heavily use FXML.
