I think its a good idea to revert this on 1.1.x as it could break user code for
no good reason. Though 1.1.x will have the ability to use newer SpiderMonkey's,
they'll have to deal with upgrading their JS code.
What we do about 1.2.x and trunk I'm less certain. On the one hand, we could
save some people some effort. On the other hand, we'd also be breaking things
for people that use helper functions that haven't upgraded to 1.8.5 or w/e
version of SM introduces this.
Bottom line is that there's no good answer other than making sure we note it in
our NEWS files, and on the website and also try and document it in error
messages.
Quite an unfortunate situation that I see no good answer to.
