-------------------------------------
+1 looks good to me

> Being able to squirrel away values frozen at frontend-launch-time is very
> handy.
> This does two things:
> * makes SimpleEvalFunc extend ContextualEvalFunc rather than
> plain-old-EvalFunc. This seems harmless and gains you all that power of
> Contextualism.
> * Adds a hook method "void schemaReadyHook(inputSchema,outputSchema)" to
> ContextualEvalFunc, called once the schemata are prepared. This acts as sugar
> for classes that want to set properties at front-end time to be used at later
> points but which, like most SimpleEvalFunc's, want nothing to do with schema
> calculation. In ContextualEvalFunc it does nothing; subclasses may override
> it and if so must call super. schemaReadyHook().
