Can just use js_free directly, I'd think.
Because it's just a wrapper for js_free().

Furthermore, JS_smprintf() and friends return a JS::UniqueChars, which is also
wired up to free with js_free(). So having the indirection via
JS_smprintf_free() obfuscates things.

It's just a complex wrapper for free(), or equivalent function. (In practice,
all the uses end up in free().)

This makes me wonder whether PrintJSStack could return a UniqueChars. But maybe that would make it more annoying to use from a debugger or something; I wasn't aware of PrintJSStack.

While you're here, s/shuld/should/. And while I'm being pedantic, maybe reword this to something like

  // Returns a string that should be freed using js_free, or nullptr on failure.

(Reading the comment, it sounds like I can either do js_free(s), or null(s).
