You can do something like this in JS, for sure, but again, you shouldn't 
hack up jsstr.c to do it.  Make your own AnsiString (or whatever) object 
  class, give it the right constructor and methods via JS_InitClass, 
including a toString() method that converts its internal string back 
into a primitive string.
