jdk.nashorn.api.scripting.ScriptUtils.wrap

[Sundararajan Athijegannathan]

The ScriptUtils methods are supposed to be called only from *scripts* - 
which the javadoc comments makes it very clear. Why do you call it from 
Java? When calling from script, the particular static type of method 
parameters should not make any difference.

Besides, when crossing Javascript to java boundary, all script objects 
are mirrored (wrapped) automatically now. There should be no need for 
Java side to explicitly call wrap/unwrap at all. Will you please given 
an example of your use-case?

Also, what other API instability concerns you have? Will you please be 
more explicit on those?

Thanks,
-Sundar
