#' Evaluate optionset objects in plugin JavaScript
#' 
#' This function scans an object generated by \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.XML.optionset]{rk.XML.optionset}},
#' extract IDs of all optioncolumn objects and nest the JavaScript code you define via \code{...} inside
#' a for loop that iterates through all columns. Inside \code{...}, you can use the column objects of
#' \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.XML.optioncolumn]{rk.XML.optioncolumn}} to refer to the respective column,
#' \code{rk.JS.optionset} will use appropriate variables.
#' 
#' In case you simply want to define the variables, but not run the loop yet, set \code{vars=TRUE} and
#' leave \code{...} empty.
#' 
#' @param optionset A XiMpLe.node object, the full \code{<optionset>} node.
#' @param ... The JavaScript code, optionally including the optioncolumn objects. This will become
#'    the body of the for loop.
#' @param loopvar Character, name of the index variable used in the for loop.
#' @param collapse Character string, how all optioncolumns should be concatenated on the R code level
#'    Hint: To place each one on a new line with tab indentation, set \code{collapse=",\\n\\t"}.
#' @param vars Logical, if \code{TRUE} all optioncolumn varaibles will be defined first. This is not
#'    needed if \code{\link[rkwarddev:rk.JS.scan]{rk.JS.scan}} was already called.
#' @param guess.getter Logical, if \code{TRUE} try to get a good default getter function for JavaScript
#'    variable values. Only relevant if \code{vars=TRUE}.
