Working on the new SpiderMonkey documentation on the new wiki DevMo
site, migrating docs from the old documentation...

Should JS_NewNumberValue() still have an "internal use only" text in the
summary description?  It appears to be a useful function when one wants
to reduce memory usage using only integers if necessary, although I
understand that one then has to make sure it's not a double to assume
that it doesn't need to be protected by JS_AddRoot(), but that is noted
in the documentation as well.  If it's to be considered internal only,
will it be removed from both documentation and the public JSAPI?  Or,
should it be flagged as deprecated, only kept for compatibility with
some old code using it?

Also, how about the JSIdArray structure which has a similar note in its
summary?  I personally had to use that structure once for C code which
needed to iterate through both properties and array elements of an
object so far...

Thanks,
Matt
