i tried both:
stephan@tiny:~/src/google/v8/src$ grep 'As(' v8.h
stephan@tiny:~/src/google/v8/src$ grep -i -w as v8.h
// "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
(but that code is 6 or 8 days old, according to svn)
So i do an svn update to r8500 in the trunk:
...
Updated to revision 8500.
stephan@tiny:~/src/google/v8$ cd src
stephan@tiny:~/src/google/v8/src$ grep -i -w as v8.h
// "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
stephan@tiny:~/src/google/v8/src$ grep 'As(' v8.h

You're right - often i don't need to know that level of detail, and i (very)
don't often ask when i have questions because (i'll ashamedly admit this) i
normally end up bitching about the docs and that puts everyone involved in a
bad mood. (i'm still not sure of the exact return value of ThrowException()
(empty handle or Undefined() - i've seen both documented), but it's never
bothered me much so i haven't asked about it.)
Yes, i'm upset because i'm continually frustrated by the lack of v8
documentation. It's a large, non-trivial library and it takes a lot of
experimentation to get it to do what you want it to do. Experimentation ==
time == grey hair == money, and all that.
i would be THRILLED to get a contract to write the v8 API documentation -
please feel free to send that to your project manager. i write _tons_ of API
and user-level documentation and i genuinely enjoy doing it (i can send lots
of refences). But the overhead of getting involved with v8 at an OSS level
proved (2 years ago when i looked into it for exactly this reason) too big
of an administrative hurdle.
Please don't take this personally (that goes for Matthias as well, of
course). Maybe it's just my time of the month.
