#' Mark character strings as literal JavaScript code
#'
#' This function `JS()` marks character vectors with a special class, so
#' that it will be treated as literal JavaScript code. It was copied from the
#' htmlwidgets package, and does exactly the same thing.
#'
#' @param ... character vectors as the JavaScript source code (all arguments
#'   will be pasted into one character string)
