Add a user_data parameter to V8 CreateFunction

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In V8, a function is an object.
So a function should have user data (like objects) in the v8 extension API. It 
should be helpfull to create object constructor or use anonymous methods.

The CefV8Handler instance passed to CefV8Value::CreateFunction can contain 
whatever user data you require.

You can define anonymous functions as part of a V8 extension. Can you provide a 
concrete example of how you want to use anonymous functions with 
CefV8Value::CreateFunction?

An anonymous method is not the best example.
I would like for example to be able to use the js constructor syntax: v = new 
MyClass(). If I keep reference of the class in the user data I could call the 
constructor method directly without having to create a v8 handler for each 
constructor.
I must say I use Delphi and the new RTTI introspection to expose automatically 
any value to v8.
