------- Additional Comments from Alexey Proskuryakov <ap at nypop.com>
This adds conversion for Boolean, String, Number and Date, and implicitly calls
toString() for unknown object types.

I am not sure if Array can really be converted to an AppleScript list
reliably... JavaScript arrays can be sparse, associated, or even contain
circular references (if I'm not mistaken) - so, I don't see any straightforward
(as in "no surprises for the user") way to convert them, other than toString().
