Dear gurus,

Is there a way to find out all the object that directly (or indirectly) 
reference the given object with SpiderMonkey's api?

Example:

var o1 = new Object()
var o2 = new Object()
var o3 = new Object()
var o4 = new Object()

o4.foo = o2
o4.bar = o3

o2.foo = o1
o3.bar = o1

For o1 I want to know that it is referenced by o2 & o3, and, indirectly, 
by o3. I suppose that there could be a way as this issue seems to be 
related to gabage collecting.

The problem I'm trying to solve is notification on objects modification.

with the best regards,
anton.
