Those APIs are for some very specific and common manipulations on
objects, and are largely based on the fact the signature guarantees of
native methods can be used to ensure you are working with an exact
instance of the String class. For more general usage, invoking any of

So what might it be used for? ("APIs" inc

While debugging a library, I stumbled about the following behaviour:
after replacing
context->IsTypeOf(obj,"STRING")
with
context->IsString(obj)
the resulting library would not behave the same. Undoing the change
makes it work again.
Not being sure what the cause really is, I just woul
