Indeed, we made webkit_web_view_run_javascript return a value to avoid
that kind of hacks.

I guess we need python bindings of JavaScriptCore API. Another option
might be to provide a gobject wrapper of the JavaScriptCore API with
introspection annotations, making it available to other languages as
well (Wasn't this seed? Does that still work?). We might also benefit
from it in the C API since we could use JavaScript objects as properties
for example.
