> We're considering building a JavaScript API for dynamic analysis of JS code.

I'd love to add dynamic JS analysis to DXR's quiver. Static JS analysis is 
coming in early fall, and my intern Marcell is hard at work wringing what he 
can out of pointer analysis. Of course, that sort of thing is necessarily fuzzy 
in such a dynamic language, so we'd welcome the information a dynamic pass 
would add.

Being able to, say, record the property sets of objects thrown around during 
automated tests would boost our confidence about the type signatures of 
functions (such as they are) and make our query results more useful. Being able 
to find where undefineds or NaNs pop out of running code would make it easier 
to spotlight ones which are spurious. We'd love to have the hooks!
