Details

JS_GetStringCharsZ returns chars the string actually "owns" (in the sense that they're not chars from some string it depends on).  But it returns chars that are const.  JS_GetStringChars returns chars that could well come from the string ours depends on, but it doesn't return const jschar*.

JS_GetStringChars should almost certainly return const; can't speak to the other.
