(this is more just a question, so I dont' forget)

I noted that the script step just allows normal children steps, but this doesn't quite make sense. I thought the idea was that this would take arbitrary script content (perhaps a text box, or a wider selection of steps, or something).

Related, if I paste in the following pipeline:

pipeline {
    
    agent any 
    stages {
        stage('first') {
            steps {
                script {
                    sh 'echo 42'
                    
                }
                
            }
        }
    }
    
}

then I don't see a way to get to the "echo 42" shell script step.
