Jail create multiple Cells, one cell per status client chat. Each cell runs own
Otto virtual machine and lives forever, but that may change in the future.

##Cells
Each Cell object embeds *VM from 'jail/vm' for concurrency safe wrapper around
*otto.VM functions. This is important when dealing with setTimeout and Fetch API
functions (see below).
### Get and Set
##Get and Set
(*VM).Get/Set functions provide transparent and concurrently safe wrappers for
Otto VM Get and Set functions respectively. See Otto documentation for usage
examples: https://godoc.org/github.com/robertkrimen/otto
### Call and Run
Otto VM Get and Set functions respectively. See Otto documentation for usage examples:
https://godoc.org/github.com/robertkrimen/otto
##Call and Run
(*VM).Call/Run functions allows executing arbitrary JS in the cell. They're also
wrappers arount Otto VM functions of the same name. Run accepts raw JS strings
for execution, Call takes a JS function name (defined in VM) and parameters.

##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.

will be handled by this loop.
For example, following code:
cell.Run(`setTimeout(function(){ value = "42" }, 2000);`)
```
cell.Run(`setTimeout(function(){ value = "42" }, 2000);`)
```
will execute setTimeout and return immidiately, but callback function will be
executed after 2 seconds in the loop that was started upon current cell.

In order to capture response one may use following approach:
err = cell.Set("__captureResponse", func(val string) otto.Value {
```
err = cell.Set("__captureResponse", func(val string) otto.Value {
fmt.Println("Captured response from callback:", val)
return otto.UndefinedValue()
})
cell.Run(`setTimeout(function(){ __captureResponse("OK") }, 2000);`)
})
cell.Run(`setTimeout(function(){ __captureResponse("OK") }, 2000);`)
```
##Fetch support
Fetch API is implemented in a similar way using the same loop. When Cell is created, corresponding handlers are registered within VM and associated event loop.
### Fetch support
Due to asynchronous nature of Fetch API, the following code will return immediately:
Fetch API is implemented in a similar way using the same loop. When Cell is
created, corresponding handlers are registered within VM and associated event
loop.
```
cell.Run(`fetch('http://example.com/').then(function(data) { ... })`)
```
Due to asynchronous nature of Fetch API, the following code will return
immediately:
and callback function in a promise will be executed in a event loop in the background. Thus,
it's user responsibility to register a corresponding callback function before:
cell.Run(`fetch('http://example.com/').then(function(data) { ... })`)
```
cell.Set("__captureSuccess", func(res otto.Value) { ... })
and callback function in a promise will be executed in a event loop in the
background. Thus, it's user responsibility to register a corresponding callback
function before:
cell.Set("__captureSuccess", func(res otto.Value) { ... })
cell.Run(`fetch('http://example.com').then(function(r) {
cell.Run(`fetch('http://example.com').then(function(r) {
return r.text()
}).then(function(data) {
}).then(function(data) {
// user code
__captureSuccess(data)
}))
}))
```
