Right now Heap{Cell/Value}PostBarrier{/Relocate} implements identical logic to JSObject::writeBarrierPost{Relocate/Remove} and InternalGCMethods<Value>::postBarrier{Relocate/Remove} respectively. It should be simple enough to merge these by calling the internal copies from the external copies.

Externally we now have:
Heap<T> ->
    GCMethods<T>::post.+ ->
        (for JSObject* and JSFunction*) HeapObjectPostBarrier.*
             InternalGCMethods<JSObject>::post.+ ->
                 ... as below ...
        (for other T*) AssertIsNotObjectSubclass
        (for Value) HeapValuePostBarrier.*
             InternalGCMethods<Value>::post.+ ->
                 ... as below ...

And the internal variant just cuts out the indirection through HeapFooPostBarrier:
HeapPtr<T>/RelocatablePtr<T>/HeapSlot ->
    InternalGCMethods<T>::post.+ ->
        (for Value) StoreBuffer::put
        (for T*) T::writeBarrierPost ->
            (for JSObject) StoreBuffer::put
            (for TenuredCell) AssertBarrierIsNotNeeded
