If I recall though @Script really wants to rewrite your javascript
for you on the fly and has some weird requirements (like you have to block
your whole script inside a big-old CDATA area). I looked at it and couldn't
find a way to make it just put out a script *exactly* as I have it in the
file system (I have lots of javascript on file I've been using for years).
I eventually had to use the any component to make it work e.g.
<component id="aScript" type="Any">
<static-binding name="element" value="script"/>
<binding name="src" expression="assets.some_script_js"/>
</component>
<script jwcid="aScript" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"/>
I really feel like there should be an option for the @Script
component that just says "embed a link to this script. Don't rewrite it,
don't parse it, don't muck with it, just link it." For the way I at least
work, that's the 80% case. For me it's actually the 100% case as I've never
shipped an app that needed to modify javascript on the fly; I just use
parameterized javascript and embed parameters into the function calls on the
form, a technique that hasn't failed me yet.

PS Its possible there is such an option in the Script component
already, but I at least couldn't find it :).

@Script is a component that does that explicitly.
