/*!
@interface
@discussion A JSValue is a reference to a value within the JavaScript object space of a
 JSVirtualMachine. All instances of JSValue originate from a JSContext and
 hold a strong reference to this JSContext. As long as any value associated with 
 a particular JSContext is retained, that JSContext will remain alive. 
 Where an instance method is invoked upon a JSValue, and this returns another 
 JSValue, the returned JSValue will originate from the same JSContext as the 
 JSValue on which the method was invoked.

 All JavaScript values are associated with a particular JSVirtualMachine
 (the associated JSVirtualMachine is available indirectly via the context
 property). An instance of JSValue may only be passed as an argument to
 methods on instances of JSValue and JSContext that belong to the same
 JSVirtualMachine - passing a JSValue to a method on an object originating
 from a different JSVirtualMachine will result in an Objective-C exception
 being raised.

@methodgroup Converting to Objective-C Types
@discussion When converting between JavaScript values and Objective-C objects a copy is
 performed. Values of types listed below are copied to the corresponding
 types on conversion in each direction. For NSDictionaries, entries in the
 dictionary that are keyed by strings are copied onto a JavaScript object.
 For dictionaries and arrays, conversion is recursive, with the same object
 conversion being applied to all entries in the collection.

<pre>
@textblock
   Objective-C type  |   JavaScript type
 --------------------+---------------------
         nil         |     undefined
        NSNull       |        null
       NSString      |       string
       NSNumber      |   number, boolean
     NSDictionary    |   Object object
       NSArray       |    Array object
        NSDate       |     Date object
       NSBlock (1)   |   Function object (1)
          id (2)     |   Wrapper object (2)
        Class (3)    | Constructor object (3)
@/textblock
</pre>

 (1) Instances of NSBlock with supported arguments types will be presented to
 JavaScript as a callable Function object. For more information on supported
 argument types see JSExport.h. If a JavaScript Function originating from an
 Objective-C block is converted back to an Objective-C object the block will
 be returned. All other JavaScript functions will be converted in the same
 manner as a JavaScript object of type Object.

 (2) For Objective-C instances that do not derive from the set of types listed
 above, a wrapper object to provide a retaining handle to the Objective-C
 instance from JavaScript. For more information on these wrapper objects, see
 JSExport.h. When a JavaScript wrapper object is converted back to Objective-C
 the Objective-C instance being retained by the wrapper is returned.

 (3) For Objective-C Class objects a constructor object containing exported
 class methods will be returned. See JSExport.h for more information on
 constructor objects.

 For all methods taking arguments of type id, arguments will be converted
 into a JavaScript value according to the above conversion.

 Data Descriptor:

    <code>set</code> key.

 Accessor Descriptor:
  - A descriptor containing one or both of the keys <code>get</code> and <code>set</code>, and
    optionally containing one or both of the keys <code>enumerable</code> and
    <code>configurable</code>. An accessor descriptor may not contain either the <code>value</code>
    or <code>writable</code> key.
    An accessor descriptor may be used to create or modify the attributes of
    an accessor property on an object (replacing any existing data property).

 Generic Descriptor:
  - A descriptor containing one or both of the keys <code>enumerable</code> and
    <code>configurable</code>. A generic descriptor may not contain any of the keys
    <code>value</code>, <code>writable</code>, <code>get</code>, or <code>set</code>.
    A generic descriptor may be used to modify the attributes of an existing
