+/**
+ * This is a sort of a placeholder interface. It is not intended to be
+ * implemented. It exists to give the nsIXPCSecurityManager an iid on
+ * which to gate a specific activity in XPConnect.
+ *
+ * That activity is...
+ *
+ * When JavaScript code uses a component that is itself implemented in
+ * JavaScript then XPConnect will build a wrapper rather than directly
+ * expose the JSObject of the component. This allows components implemented
+ * in JavaScript to 'look' just like any other xpcom component (from the
+ * perspective of the JavaScript caller). This insulates the component from
+ * the caller and hides any properties or methods that are not part of the
+ * interface as declared in xpidl. Usually this is a good thing.
+ *
+ * However, in some cases it is useful to allow the JS caller access to the
+ * JS component's underlying implementation. In order to facilitate this
+ * XPConnect supports the 'wrappedJSObject' property. The caller code can do:
+ *
+ * // 'foo' is some xpcom component (that might be implemented in JS).
+ * try {
+ * var bar = foo.wrappedJSObject;
+ * if(bar) {
+ * // bar is the underlying JSObject. Do stuff with it here.
+ * }
+ * } catch(e) {
+ * // security exception?
+ * }
+ *
+ * Recall that 'foo' above is an XPConnect wrapper, not the underlying JS
+ * object. The property get "foo.wrappedJSObject" will only succeed if three
+ * conditions are met:
+ *
+ * 1) 'foo' really is an XPConnect wrapper around a JSObject.
+ * 2) The underlying JSObject actually implements a "wrappedJSObject"
+ * property that returns a JSObject. This is called by XPConnect. This
+ * restriction allows wrapped objects to only allow access to the underlying
+ * JSObject if they choose to do so. Ususally this just means that 'foo'
+ * would have a property tht looks like:
+ * this.wrappedJSObject = this.
+ * 3) The implemementation of nsIXPCSecurityManager (if installed) allows
+ * a property get on the interface below. Although the JSObject need not
+ * implement 'nsIXPCWrappedJSObjectGetter', XPConnect will ask the
+ * security manager if it is OK for the caller to access the only method
+ * in nsIXPCWrappedJSObjectGetter before allowing the activity. This fits
+ * in with the security manager paradigm and makes control over accessing
+ * the property on this interface the control factor for getting the
+ * underlying wrapped JSObject of a JS component from JS code.
+ *
+ * Notes:
+ *
+ * a) If 'foo' above were the underlying JSObject and not a wrapper at all,
+ * then this all just works and XPConnect is not part of the picture at all.
+ * b) One might ask why 'foo' should not just implement an interface through
+ * which callers might get at the underlying object. There are three reasons:
+ * i) XPConnect would still have to do magic since JSObject is not a
+ * scriptable type.
+ * ii) JS Components might use aggregation (like C++ objects) and have
+ * different JSObjects for different interfaces 'within' an aggregate
+ * object. But, using an additional interface only allows returning one
+ * underlying JSObject. However, this allows for the possibility that
+ * each of the aggregte JSObjects could return something different.
+ * Note that one might do: this.wrappedJSObject = someOtherObject;
+ * iii) Avoiding the explicit interface makes it easier for both the caller
+ * and the component.
+ *
+ * Anyway, some future implementation of nsIXPCSecurityManager might want
+ * do special processing on 'nsIXPCSecurityManager::CanGetProperty' when
+ * the interface id is that of nsIXPCWrappedJSObjectGetter.

+ * This interface is implemented by outside code and registered with xpconnect
+ * via nsIXPConnect::setFunctionThisTranslator.
+ *
+ * The reason this exists is to support calls to JavaScript event callbacks
+ * needed by the DOM via xpconnect from C++ code.
+ *
+ * We've added support for wrapping JS function objects as xpcom interfaces
+ * by declaring the given interface as a [function] interface. However, to
+ * support the requirements of JS event callbacks we need to call the JS
+ * function with the 'this' set as the JSObject for which the event is being
+ * fired; e.g. a form node.
+ *
+ * We've decided that for all cases we care about the appropriate 'this' object
+ * can be derived from the first param in the call to the callback. In the
+ * event handler case the first param is an event object.
+ *
+ * Though we can't change all the JS code so that it would setup its own 'this',
+ * we can add plugin 'helper' support to xpconnect. And that is what we have
+ * here.
+ *
+ * The idea is that at startup time some code that cares about this issue
+ * (e.g. the DOM helper code) can register a nsIXPCFunctionThisTranslator
+ * object with xpconnect to handle calls to [function] interfaces of a given
+ * iid. When xpconnect goes to invoke a method on a wrapped JSObject for
+ * an interface marked as [function], xpconnect will check if the first param
+ * of the method is an xpcom object pointer and if so it will check to see if a
+ * nsIXPCFunctionThisTranslator has been registered for the given iid of the
+ * interface being called. If so it will call the translator and get an
+ * interface pointer to use as the 'this' for the call. If the translator
+ * returns a non-null interface pointer (which it should then have addref'd
+ * since it is being returned as an out param), xpconnect will attempt to build
+ * a wrapper around the pointer and get a JSObject from that wrapper to use
+ * as the 'this' for the call.
+ *
+ * If a null interface pointer is returned then xpconnect will use the default
+ * 'this' - the same JSObject as the function object it is calling.
