//! Smart pointers for the JS-managed DOM objects.
//!
//! The DOM is made up of Rust types whose lifetime is entirely controlled by the whims of
//! the SpiderMonkey garbage collector. The types in this module are designed to ensure
//! that any interactions with said Rust types only occur on values that will remain alive
//! the entire time.
//!
//! Here is a brief overview of the important types:
//!
//! - `JSRef<T>`: a freely-copyable reference to a rooted value.
//! - `Root<T>`: a stack-based reference to a rooted value.
//! - `JS<T>`: a pointer to JS-owned memory that can automatically be traced by the GC when
//!          encountered as a field of a Rust structure.
//! - `Temporary<T>`: a value that will remain rooted for the duration of its lifetime.
//!
//! The rule of thumb is as follows:
//!
//! - All methods return `Temporary<T>`, to ensure the value remains alive until it is stored
//!   somewhere that is reachable by the GC.
//! - All functions take `JSRef<T>` arguments, to ensure that they will remain uncollected for
//!   the duration of their usage.
//! - All types contain `JS<T>` fields and derive the `Encodable` trait, to ensure that they are
//!   transitively marked as reachable by the GC if the enclosing value is reachable.
//! - All methods for type `T` are implemented for `JSRef<T>`, to ensure that the self value
//!   will not be collected for the duration of the method call.
//!
//! Both `Temporary<T>` and `JS<T>` do not allow access to their inner value without explicitly
//! creating a stack-based root via the `root` method. This returns a `Root<T>`, which causes
//! the JS-owned value to be uncollectable for the duration of the `Root` object's lifetime.
//! A `JSRef<T>` can be obtained from a `Root<T>` either by dereferencing the `Root<T>` (`*rooted`)
//! or explicitly calling the `root_ref` method. These `JSRef<T>` values are not allowed to
//! outlive their originating `Root<T>`, to ensure that all interactions with the enclosed value
//! only occur when said value is uncollectable, and will cause static lifetime errors if
//! misused.
//!
//! Other miscellaneous helper traits:
//!
//! - `OptionalRootable` and `OptionalRootedRootable`: make rooting `Option` values easy via a `root` method
//! - `ResultRootable`: make rooting successful `Result` values easy
//! - `TemporaryPushable`: allows mutating vectors of `JS<T>` with new elements of `JSRef`/`Temporary`
//! - `OptionalSettable`: allows assigning `Option` values of `JSRef`/`Temporary` to fields of `Option<JS<T>>`
//! - `RootedReference`: makes obtaining an `Option<JSRef<T>>` from an `Option<Root<T>>` easy
