Description

spock exports a <script> macro. Coincidently, html-tags] exports a procedure with the same name, since its procedures are named after html tags'.

Since both spock and html-tags are intended to be used by web applications, there's some chance they could be used together (e.g., integrating awful and spock for a hop-like framework). In this case, we'd have a name clash, unless we explicitly rename things on importing.

I could rename html-tags <script> procedure, but that would generate a special case which would be awkward and irrelevant when spock is not used.

So I was thinking that maybe spock's <script> could be renamed. Maybe <spock>, <javascript> or <spockscript>?
