/**
 * Defines the Service Provider Interface for pluggable JShell execution engines.
 * The JShell core tracks and compiles Snippets then sends them
 * (represented in a wrapper class) to the execution engine for loading,
 * and in the case of executable Snippets, execution.  The JShell
 * implementation includes a default execution engine (currently a remote
 * process which is JDI controlled).  By implementing the
 * {@link jdk.jshell.spi.ExecutionControl} interface and installing it with
 * {@link jdk.jshell.JShell.Builder#executionEngine(jdk.jshell.spi.ExecutionControl) }
 * other execution engines can be used.
 *
 * @see jdk.jshell.execution jdk.jshell.execution for execution implementation support
