I'm not sure if this is intended, but I've noticed that JSNI methods on 
string do not work.
I tried equals, compareTo, compareToIgnoreCase and charAt, but none of them 
worked.
I used my fork and the pristine 2.7, and in super dev + regular compile; in 
all cases, the functions come back undefined.

native char jsni(String s)
/*-{
  var fn = [email protected]::charAt(I);
  // fn is undefined
  return fn(0); // doom
}-*/;

In compiled code, it looks something like:
var fn = string_0_g$.charAt_3_g$;


So, my question, is this expected behaviour?

If so, are there other types I need to guard against JSNI failures?

If not, should I file a bug and look into a patch?
(Assuming a patch would be a rewrite static method visitor that can replace 
jsni method refs with a staticified version).

For my reflection support, I'm going to guard against this by making public 
methods not use JSNI,
but if there are other types or gotchas I should be aware of, it would be 
nice to know about them.


Thanks!
