##Cells
## Cells
Each Cell object embeds *VM from 'jail/vm' for concurrency safe wrapper around

functions (see below).

Otto VM Get and Set functions respectively. See Otto documentation for usage examples:

## Timeouts and intervals support
Default Otto VM interpreter doesn't support setTimeout() / setInterval() JS functions,
because they're not part of ECMA-262 spec, but properties of the window object in browser.
We add support for them using own implementation of Event Loop, heavily based on http://github.com/status-im/ottoext package. See loop/fetch/promise packages under `jail/internal/`.
Each cell starts a new loop in a separate goroutine, registers functions for setTimeout/setInterval
calls and associate them with this loop. All JS code executed as callback to setTimeout/setInterval
will be handled by this loop.
