Two questions really.

One:
I am using JS_DefineObject to create objects of a custom class in my
application.  Since this isn't a JS_New* function, As far as I can
gather, I do not need to use JS_AddRoot.  Is this correct?

Two:
When my application is done with this object, How do I tell
spidermonkey that I no longer need it?  It is possible that some
variables in the runtime may maintain references to this object, even
after the Native application is done with it, so it cannot be
destroyed outright.  How do I signal to signal to spidermonkey that
the  object can now be garbage collected as far as the Native app
is concerned?
