In short-term, this kind of clean-up will improve our situation a lot. (I'm doing the work with the highest priority in the V8 side.)

As I said in a previous email, JSC isn't the only binding we generate with these scripts. We also generate ObjC and internal Safari bindings. So those needs need to be considered for anyone rewriting these scripts.
