+# and attached to its API for an easy-lookup. This ensures the Script
+# is always accessible, and re-created if it is somehow deleted. Use
+# this for Scripts that absolutely MUST be running for your game as a
+# simple way to get them launched.
+
+# One limitation with this system is that each Script must be have a
+# unique Typeclass. The 'key' is a way to quickly index them but is
+# not necessarily the Script Typeclasss's key.
