That applies in js/src and js/src/xpconnect/src (and other places), but 
if you study xpconnect closely, you'll see that it can invoke native C++ 
methods from JS, using XPCOM type libraries.  This means that if you are 
looking for DOM native method implementations, you can't just grep for 
the JSNative signature.
