No.

The bindings of Scripts (python) are not extensible. For example, you 
cannot  add 'members' as a binding for the CMF membership tool.
Its only function is to rename a fixed set of bindings.

In the case of these adapters and namespaces, we're talking about making 
things arbitrarily extensible.
