while this is a very creative idea it has one serious flaw. It blocks
on network I/O. What makes NSE scalable and fast is the fact that NSE
scripts don't block on network I/O. Whenever one script is waiting
for network activity other scripts are executing. Since the network
traffic is usually the slowest part of the script execution this
concept parallelizes the execution of scripts well.
I suggest that you send your script to nmap-dev nevertheless so that
someone can port it to NSE.
cheers,
Diman
