Another way of looking at my suggestion is this:

jsval variable[1];

variable[0] holds the var type.  variable[1] holds the actual value
(integer, ptr to chars for string, ptr to 64-bit double, etc).

&variable[1] is what gets passed around.  When code needs to know the type
it accesses variable[0] and checks against JSTYPE_, or JSVAL_.

Take care,

Sterling
