It sounds like that would be used on a wrapper for the Date class.  The
functionality I'm attempting to emulate is a JS_Enumerate call on a
Date-classed object.  Rather than simply calling JS_Enumerate, however, I'll
first determine whether the object's class is standard.  If so, I return the
stored list of functions (I may have to change the list for different js
versions) for that class, otherwise call JS_Enumerate.  The bridge's user
won't need to know the origin, just receive the array of string values.
