 * During global creation, we fire notifications to callbacks registered

 * in a half-baked state. But this creates a problem for consumers that need
 * to set slots on the global to put it in a consistent state.
 *
 * This API provides a way for consumers to set slots atomically (immediately
 * after the global is created), before any debugger hooks are fired. It's
 * unfortunately on the clunky side, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
 *
 * If callers have no additional state on the global to set up, they may pass
 * |FireOnNewGlobalHook| to JS_NewGlobalObject, which causes that function to
 * fire the hook as its final act before returning. Otherwise, callers should
 * pass |DontFireOnNewGlobalHook|, which means that they are responsible for
 * invoking JS_FireOnNewGlobalObject upon successfully creating the global. If
 * an error occurs and the operation aborts, callers should skip firing the
 * hook. But otherwise, callers must take care to fire the hook exactly once
 * before compiling any script in the global's scope (we have assertions in
 * place to enforce this). This lets us be sure that debugger clients never miss
 * breakpoints.
