People are already using multiple languages on the web.  E.g.,
https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS.
 Native runtime support is a natural next step.

WebKit does support multiple VMs, but it does not support them
concurrently at runtime.  That is essentially what we want to enable.
