  \class QJSPrimitiveValue
 
  \brief The QJSPrimitiveValue class operates on primitive types in JavaScript semantics.
 
  \ingroup qtjavascript
  \inmodule QtQml
 
  QJSPrimitiveValue supports most of the primitive types defined in the
  \l{ECMA-262} standard, in particular Undefined, Boolean, Number, and String.
  Additionally, you can store a JavaScript null in a QJSPrimitiveValue and as a
  special case of Number, you can store an integer value.
 
  All those values are stored immediately, without interacting with the
  JavaScript heap. Therefore, you can pass QJSPrimitiveValues between different
  JavaScript engines. In contrast to QJSManagedValue, there is also no danger
  in destroying a QJSPrimitiveValue from a different thread than it was created
  in. On the flip side, QJSPrimitiveValue does not hold a reference to any
  JavaScript engine.
 
  QJSPrimitiveValue implements the JavaScript arithmetic and comparison
  operators on the supported types in JavaScript semantics. Types are coerced
  like the JavaScript engine would coerce them if the operators were written
  in a JavaScript expression.
 
  The JavaScript Symbol type is not supported as it is of very limited utility
  regarding arithmetic and comparison operators, the main purpose of
  QJSPrimitiveValue. In particular, it causes an exception whenever you try to
  coerce it to a number or a string, and we cannot throw exceptions without a
  JavaScript Engine.

/*!
  \enum QJSPrimitiveValue::Type
 
  This enum speicifies the types a QJSPrimitiveValue might contain.
 
  \value Undefined The JavaScript Undefined value.
  \value Null The JavaScript null value. This is in fact not a separate
              JavaScript type but a special value of the Object type. As it is
              very common and storable without JavaScript engine, it is still
              supported.
  \value Boolean A JavaScript Boolean value.
  \value Integer An integer. This is a special case of the JavaScript Number
                 type. JavaScript does not have an actual integer type, but
                 the \l{ECMA-262} standard contains rules on how to transform a
                 Number in order to prepare it for certain operators that only
                 make sense on integers, in particular the bit shift operators.
                 QJSPrimitiveValue's Integer type represents the result of such
                 a transformation.
  \value Double A JavaScript Number value.
  \value String A JavaScript String value.
