Description Oliver Hunt 2018-08-14 20:48:05 PDT 
We need to provide APIs that allow some degree of reasoning about symbols.

Something along the lines of:

JSValueRef JSValueToPropertyKey(JSContextRef ctx, JSValueRef key, JSValueRef* exception);
bool JSValueIsPropertyKey(JSValueRef key); // Generally useful
uint64_t JSValueHashValueForKey(JSValueRef); // Hash values are useful. They really are. Should be distinct from pointer. Implies need for:
bool JSValueKeysEqual(JSValueRef, JSValueRef); // naming???
