  CppBoundClass class:
  This base class serves as a parent for C++ classes designed to be bound to
  JavaScript objects.

  Subclasses should define the constructor to build the property and method
  lists needed to bind this class to a JS object.  They should also declare
  and define member variables and methods to be exposed to JS through
  that object.

  See cpp_binding_example.{h|cc} for an example.
