What you have here will keep the thing stored in the "obj" member of a 
FrontEnd struct alive as long as that FrontEnd struct is alive, I 
believe.  That's assuming there is no API to mutate the value of that 
member other than the FrontEnd constructor.

Given that, deleting the FrontEnd in the object's finalizer doesn't 
really make sense: the FrontEnd will keep the object alive as long as 
the FrontEnd is alive, as far as I can tell.

What is the desired lifetime relationship here between the FrontEnd, the 
BackEnd, and the JSObject that the FrontEnd points to?
