Is it possible that the private_to_jsval macro will affect live objects,
particularly when they tear down?  For instance, Delphi will access the
virtual method table to find the Destroy method of an object.  When the
object is added to the private slot of a JSObject it will sometimes fail
when attempting to free itself.  I'm wondering if changing any of the bits
of the pointer could cause this kind of symptom.

Another question: If I change the private_to_jsval and jsval_to_private
macros to do nothing, will that affect anything else?  (I ask #2 since I
understand the pointer to be technically private, and not for use inside the
engine...)

Thanks,

Sterling
