427154 - ActionMonkey: Integrate SpiderMonkey string optimizations into TT

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Jim Blandy :jimb]

To prepare ActionMonkey to work with the Tamarin Tracing JIT, we need to bring
the two systems' representations of JavaScript values closer together, to make
the switch go more smoothly.

ActionMonkey's string optimizations are something we don't want to lose, so they should be merged into TT (adapted for AM as described in bug 425818).

At the point this work is carried out, AM will be using TT's MMgc, but nothing
else, so this work will be validated using TT's test suite, not by in-browser
testing.
