// Bug 312003 describes why this must be "void *", but argv will be cast to
// jsval* and the args are found at:
//    ((jsval*)aArgv)[0], ..., ((jsval*)aArgv)[aArgc - 1]
// The resulting object will take a copy of the array, and ensure each
// element is rooted.
// Optionally, aArgv may be NULL, in which case the array is allocated and
// rooted, but all items remain NULL.  This presumably means the caller will
// then QI us for nsIJSArgArray, and set our array elements.
