That was what I thought, I just want to make it sure. So this one should 
fall into nselib?

I have one idea for discovery script (since I'm aiming to apply GSoC for 
discovery scripting position). The idea is a script to tell whether 
remote host is virtual machine or not / or its physical and has virtual 
machines running on it. So basic step is for windows, checking if it has 
registry for virtual machine. Maybe virtual machine has different 
fingerprints on some open service, I'm not sure but it definitely should 
be researched over time.
