ToolJob: support for Jobs with integrated Tool. about scalding HOT 3 OPEN

Alternatively, we could implement something equivalent to App, that doesn't introduce the args confusion (i.e. args will return a scalding.Args), and you just type object MyJob extends ToolJob.

I think I'm missing some context here. What would a ToolJob look like?

So, being the scenes it is going to run the code here:

https://github.com/twitter/scalding/blob/develop/src/main/scala/com/twitter/scalding/Tool.scala

Except it isn't going to instantiate a new job to populate the flowDef, it will do so in the body of the object.

Maybe it is not helpful. Just an idea. Not really sure who the customer is, so maybe we can wait for someone to say this is needed.
