The example I mentioned it's close to my case. In a certain condition I need
to create an object of the same class of some other object I got.

JSClassRef clas = JSObjectGetClass(obj1);
JSObjectRef obj2 = JSObjectMake(context, clas, NULL);

The example I used here doesn't set a private data upon construction, but it shouldn't matter, I could set a pointer there and the example for the API I'm proposing would be the same.

As I mentioned in the mailing list, this same API is present in SpiderMonkey. I understand that the API dealing with JSObjectRef is stable for a while, however this API is simple, consistent and have already been proven useful by others javascript engines.
