A v8::HandleScope manages the lifetime of the backing store used by any
handles/v8::Locals you create. It doesn't have anything to do with
JavaScript variable scoping.
A v8::Context::Scope is a convenience tool for making it easy to ensure
your code has matching pairs of Context::Enter() and Context::Exit() calls.
Contexts map to frames/iframes on the web.
I'm not sure how to solve your problem. If you want the scripts to act like
modules, maybe one of the CompileModule() overloads would do the trick? Or,
as a somewhat hacky solution, you could modify their sources to wrap them
into {...} or (function() { ... })() ? Or maybe it'd be fine to simply run
each script in its own v8::Context?
