Description

For debugging scripts, it would sometimes be useful to have access to the context within a VM script.
For example, one could then print out all the variables that are defined in the context.

The suggestion is to enable this via a properties file or a system property.

If the property is defined, its value would be used as the name of the variable holding the context.

e.g. -Dvelocity.context.variable=ctx

Obviously feel free to choose a better property name.
