Thanks for the info. The byte arrays are always dense. JSPROP_SHARED 
would apply to a particular JSPropertySpec that I define for a class. 
However, if I wanted to have the same behavior for property indexes from 
0 to max int, would I be able to do so?

I'm not sure I understand the second sentence. Is there a 'resolve' 
function or some method? My ignorance.

Thanks,

SR
