Right now, we use over 200K per content process for the component and category managers. Ideally, we should probably significantly reduce the number of components we register, and probably use static hash tables for non-JS components. But we can also make significant gains by just optimizing some of our data structures.

This is technically undefined behavior, since `aPtr` and `&aPtr` aren't pointers to (or just past) the same object.  If you want to do it more legitimately, you need to cast to `uintptr_t` first.

Bug 1477579: Part 3 - Avoid duplicating static strings in category manager entries.

Nice.  How much does this win back?

Shall we just make this `builtinclass` while we're here?  Or should that be a followup?

I think the usual way we do this is with `size_t N` arguments.  I don't think it makes any difference, but consistency is nice?

About 8K. Or, probably exactly 8K, since that's the chunk size for the arena all of this stuff is allocated in.

Yeah, may as well, I suppose. Although it still works with JS wrappers as is.
