 Get native pointer and its type information.
 The pointer and the type information are previously associated with the object by jerry_set_object_native_pointer.
-Users can check the pointer's type before processing it.
+
+*Note*: It is recommended to ensure that the `out_native_info_p` value pointer
+        is equal to the native info pointer that is expected, before casting
+        and accessing the `out_native_pointer_p`.
+        An example of when this is important: external functions that expect
+        `this` to have a native pointer of a certain C type.
+        It is possible in JavaScript to change `this` at will – using `call()`,
+        `apply()` or `bind()`. Therefore, it is possible that the native pointer
+        of `this` is not of the expected C type. To handle this safely and
+        securely, one must always add type checks to make sure that the
+        `out_native_pointer_p` is of the expected type, before casting
+        and dereferencing `out_native_pointer_p`.
