Thanks for the quick reply.

The docs I was reading were in fact the Apple docs, which AFAIK are the 
only "docs" for JavaScriptCore.  When working at the API level, I try to 
stick to "docs" instead of "code", but sometimes I cheat :-)  Actually, 
I learned a lot by printing out "pointer values", without even looking 
at the impl.

Maybe it would make sense for webkit.org to host something similar to 
the apple docs, located here,
 
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/WebKit_JavaScriptCore_Ref/

so that mortals could contribute back to that level of documentation. 
At the minimum, I suspect the turn around time in getting changes to 
such doc would be quicker than going through official Apple support.

I'll file a report at the apple site in the meantime though.
