You would have to make your own array-like object using a custom JSClass.

Not so!  The Array methods are generic, they work on any class of 
object, so long as it has a length property.  You could therefore make 
your native class delegate to Array.prototype (by passing that object as 
the non-null parent_proto to your JS_InitClass call).
