 * point directly to an object.  Instead, all objects are stored in
 * handles which are known by the garbage collector and updated
 * whenever an object moves.  Handles should always be passed by value
 * (except in cases like out-parameters) and they should never be
 * allocated on the heap.
 *
 * There are two types of handles: local and persistent handles.
 * Local handles are light-weight and transient and typically used in
 * local operations.  They are managed by HandleScopes.  Persistent
 * handles can be used when storing objects across several independent
 * operations and have to be explicitly deallocated when they're no
 * longer used.
 *
 * It is safe to extract the object stored in the handle by
 * dereferencing the handle (for instance, to extract the Object* from
 * an Handle<Object>); the value will still be governed by a handle
 * behind the scenes and the same rules apply to these values as to
 * their handles.

 *
 *    v8::Local<v8::Function> function = t->GetFunction();
 *    v8::Local<v8::Object> instance = function->NewInstance();
 * \endcode
 *
 * Let's use "function" as the JS variable name of the function object
 * and "instance" for the instance object created above.  The function
 * and the instance will have the following properties:
 *
 * \code
 *   func_property in function == true;
 *   function.func_property == 1;
 *
 *   function.prototype.proto_method() invokes 'InvokeCallback'
 *   function.prototype.proto_const == 2;
 *
 *   instance instanceof function == true;
 *   instance.instance_accessor calls 'InstanceAccessorCallback'
 *   instance.instance_property == 3;
 * \endcode
 *
 * A FunctionTemplate can inherit from another one by calling the
 * FunctionTemplate::Inherit method.  The following graph illustrates
 * the semantics of inheritance:
 *
 * \code
 *   FunctionTemplate Parent  -> Parent() . prototype -> { }
 *     ^                                                  ^
 *     | Inherit(Parent)                                  | .__proto__
 *     |                                                  |
 *   FunctionTemplate Child   -> Child()  . prototype -> { }
 * \endcode
 *
 * A FunctionTemplate 'Child' inherits from 'Parent', the prototype
 * object of the Child() function has __proto__ pointing to the
 * Parent() function's prototype object. An instance of the Child
 * function has all properties on Parent's instance templates.
 *
 * Let Parent be the FunctionTemplate initialized in the previous
 * section and create a Child FunctionTemplate by:
 *
 * \code
 *   Local<FunctionTemplate> parent = t;
 *   Local<FunctionTemplate> child = FunctionTemplate::New();
 *   child->Inherit(parent);
 *
 *   Local<Function> child_function = child->GetFunction();
 *   Local<Object> child_instance = child_function->NewInstance();
 * \endcode
 *
 * The Child function and Child instance will have the following
 * properties:
 *
 * \code
 *   child_func.prototype.__proto__ == function.prototype;
 *   child_instance.instance_accessor calls 'InstanceAccessorCallback'
 *   child_instance.instance_property == 3;
 * \endcode

/**
 * Multiple threads in V8 are allowed, but only one thread at a time
 * is allowed to use V8.  The definition of 'using V8' includes
 * accessing handles or holding onto object pointers obtained from V8
 * handles.  It is up to the user of V8 to ensure (perhaps with
 * locking) that this constraint is not violated.
 *
 * If you wish to start using V8 in a thread you can do this by constructing
 * a v8::Locker object.  After the code using V8 has completed for the
 * current thread you can call the destructor.  This can be combined
 * with C++ scope-based construction as follows:
 *
 * \code
 * ...
 * {
 *   v8::Locker locker;
 *   ...
 *   // Code using V8 goes here.
 *   ...
 * } // Destructor called here
 * \endcode
 *
 * If you wish to stop using V8 in a thread A you can do this by either
 * by destroying the v8::Locker object as above or by constructing a
 * v8::Unlocker object:
 *
 * \code
 * {
 *   v8::Unlocker unlocker;
 *   ...
 *   // Code not using V8 goes here while V8 can run in another thread.
 *   ...
 * } // Destructor called here.
 * \endcode
 *
 * The Unlocker object is intended for use in a long-running callback
 * from V8, where you want to release the V8 lock for other threads to
 * use.
 *
 * The v8::Locker is a recursive lock.  That is, you can lock more than
 * once in a given thread.  This can be useful if you have code that can
 * be called either from code that holds the lock or from code that does
 * not.  The Unlocker is not recursive so you can not have several
 * Unlockers on the stack at once, and you can not use an Unlocker in a
 * thread that is not inside a Locker's scope.
 *
 * An unlocker will unlock several lockers if it has to and reinstate
 * the correct depth of locking on its destruction. eg.:
 *
 * \code
 * // V8 not locked.
 * {
 *   v8::Locker locker;
 *   // V8 locked.
 *   {
 *     v8::Locker another_locker;
 *     // V8 still locked (2 levels).
 *     {
 *       v8::Unlocker unlocker;
 *       // V8 not locked.
 *     }
 *     // V8 locked again (2 levels).
 *   }
 *   // V8 still locked (1 level).
 * }
 * // V8 Now no longer locked.
