That's the thing. It doesn't.

However, I can't reproduce the problem, at least not trivially. (./configure
was re-run; this probably has a lot to do with it.)

Neither: js_SkipWhiteSpace (in the same header file) uses JS_ISSPACE.

The private API should, IMO, be moved into separate header files, preferably
named appropriately to indicate the private nature of the content; if js_A,
js_X and js_Y are meant to be private then they should also be moved and
renamed, but they still need to be exported so long as there's a public API
function which causes them to be referenced.
