Thanks for taking the time to chat. And sorry for running off; I will be
online later in the evening.

The way I plan to address the issue is to special-case
"org.scijava.scripting.*" values in the input values passed to
ScriptService#run and add an API to the ScriptModule to get the values of
these settings. This should be clean and allow all the use cases we came
up with in our brief chat.

I should be able to complete that work and release scijava-common 2.24.0
before tomorrow morning.

Sounds good?
