two problems i didn't see before, this add a virtual and complex types that 
require a constructor won't work, since are not registered yet


/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/plasma/scripting/scriptengine.h
<http://svn.reviewboard.kde.org/r/5525/#comment8211>

    didn't notice that t a first glance, no virtuals can be added
    it could perhps be done with a slot evaluate()
