+// Methods usually act upon |this| objects only from a single global object and
+// compartment. Sometimes, however, a method must act upon |this| values from
+// multiple global objects or compartments. In such cases the |this| value a
+// method might see will be wrapped, such that various access to the object --
+// to its class, its private data, its reserved slots, and so on -- will not
+// work properly without entering that object's compartment. This method
+// implements a solution to this problem.
+//
+// To implement a method that accepts |this| values from multiple compartments,
+// define two functions. The first function matches the IsAcceptableThis type
+// and indicates whether the provided value is an acceptable |this| for the
+// method; it must be a pure function only of its argument.
+//

+// IsAnswerObject(const Value& v)
+// {
+// if (!v.isObject()) {
+// return false;
+// }
+// return JS_GetClass(&v.toObject()) == &AnswerClass;
+// }
+//
+// The second function implements the NativeImpl signature and defines the
+// behavior of the method when it is provided an acceptable |this| value.
+// Aside from some typing niceties -- see the CallArgs interface for details --
+// its interface is the same as that of JSNative.
+//
+// static bool
+// answer_getAnswer_impl(JSContext* cx, JS::CallArgs args)
+// {
+// args.rval().setInt32(42);
+// return true;
+// }
+//
+// The implementation function is guaranteed to be called *only* with a |this|
+// value which is considered acceptable.
+//
+// Now to implement the actual method, write a JSNative that calls the method
+// declared below, passing the appropriate template and runtime arguments.
+//
+// static bool
+// answer_getAnswer(JSContext* cx, unsigned argc, JS::Value* vp)
+// {
+// JS::CallArgs args = JS::CallArgsFromVp(argc, vp);
+// return JS::CallNonGenericMethod<IsAnswerObject,
+// answer_getAnswer_impl>(cx, args);
+// }
+//
+// Note that, because they are used as template arguments, the predicate
+// and implementation functions must have external linkage. (This is
+// unfortunate, but GCC wasn't inlining things as one would hope when we
+// passed them as function arguments.)
+//
+// JS::CallNonGenericMethod will test whether |args.thisv()| is acceptable. If
+// it is, it will call the provided implementation function, which will return
+// a value and indicate success. If it is not, it will attempt to unwrap
+// |this| and call the implementation function on the unwrapped |this|. If
+// that succeeds, all well and good. If it doesn't succeed, a TypeError will
+// be thrown.
+//
+// Note: JS::CallNonGenericMethod will only work correctly if it's called in
+// tail position in a JSNative. Do not call it from any other place.
