JSObject and delegation to other java classes

[A. Sundararajan]

You can't "take" java method away from object and then "apply" it later 
(like you do with Java reflection). Also, there is not "Function" like 
"apply" for Java methods. If you switch on method names and have 
multiple call sites, i.e., one each for each "hot" methods and have 
default for the rest, that should help.
