FWIW, this is exactly the same problem we had with making it possible for Embind to allow passing C++ functions into setTimeout.

We'd need to synthesize a JavaScript function that holds a wrapper object for the C++ function, and that wrapper object would need to be deallocated when the timer is done. For general callbacks, this is a hard problem, and finalizers would provide a clean way to solve it.
