[webkit-dev] how to extend the javascript native object?

[Jack Wootton]

For completion, I can answer my own question.  NSObject stands for
NeXTStep Object.  Which is related to Objective C and not webkit.  I
assumed it was something like "NetScape Object".  My mistake.  If like
me you're more familiar with C++ than Objective C - this seems like a
reasonable guide:
