Description
Js_OO is an old internal thing that's still used by the @this attribute. We should find a way to get rid of it in favor of something more idiomatic.

Research direction
Start by tracing the compiler's handling of the @this attribute and every use of Js_OO. Determine how that internal mechanism can be replaced with a more idiomatic alternative; the work is done when @this no longer depends on Js_OO and the compiler behavior remains correct.
