ARGH!  I was pulling my hair out wondering how I could miss this, and I 
was about ready to put my head in the oven when I realized that it's 
brand new.  Yeah!  I get to remove a bunch of wacky code!

Two questions, since there doesn't seem to be a listing in the docs:

JS_SealObject(JSContext *cx, JSObject *obj, JSBool deep);

1. What does deep do?  I assume it means to it recursively.
2. I don't think so but have to ask -- Do I need to unseal sealed 
objects to have a proper shutdown for JS?

This function is a life-saver!
