Research direction

Start by locating the JSValue enum, JSString, JSBridgeClass, StringProtocol, and JavaScriptObjectRef definitions in JavaScriptKit. Trace how string values are currently copied and re-encoded, then determine the scope needed for a JSString-backed representation. Done means String values use the proposed representation without the existing copying and re-encoding overhead.
