 Next, we create a few methods that we'll later use in our scripts.  Notice that we register our custom type with the engine.

 Note: the engine follows the convention that functions take ownership of all their parameters and methods take ownership of all but their first parameter (which is a &mut).

 Finally, we call our script.  The script can see the function and method we registered earlier.  We need to get the result back out from script land just as before, this time casting to our custom struct type.
