[IronPython] Access functions from other modules in an embedded environment

[Curt Hagenlocher]

For this scenario, yes, you'd need to parse "moduleB.myFunB" into a module
name and function name, then pull moduleB out of the scope for moduleA, pull
myFunB out of the scope for moduleB and then execute it.

If you expect to get a function, Operations.InvokeMember is cleaner than
doing Operations.GetMember and casting to a delegate type.

If you want to execute an arbitrary snippet of code against the scope of
moduleA, (ie "moduleB.myFunB()") you can just compile the code and execute
it by using ScriptEngine.Execute(string, ScriptScope).
