I think we can entirely stub out InspectorValues here.

Older versions of System Safari used InspectorValues (via WebInspector.framework) for two things:

  • Augmented JSContexts SPIs (via WebInspector.framework)
    - not actually used
  • WebDriver (maybe?)
    - I don't think this can be used with SafariForWebKitDevelopment

Since neither are used when running SafariForWebKitDevelopment we can stub out the symbols (InspectorValues, InspectorObjects, InspectorBackendDispatcher::sendResponse) to do nothing, and SafariForWebKitDevelopment  will then continue to launch with a trunk WebKit and won't have any observable bad behavior.

Looks good!

I still don't think this comment makes sense for this file. JSON::Object is new so I don't think any existing code can depend on it.

You may want to move the FIXME / bugzilla bug to the DeprecatedInspectorValues file.

Same.
