 Most of the V8 API uses `Local` handles to work with JavaScript values or return
 them from functions.
 
+Additionally, according to [V8 public API documentation][`v8::Local<T>`], local handles
+(`v8::Local<T>`) should **never** be allocated on the heap.
+
+This disallows heap-allocated data structures containing instances of `v8::Local`
+
+For example:
+
+```cpp
+// Don't do this
+std::vector<v8::Local<v8::Value>> v1;
+```
+
+Instead, it is recommended to use `v8::LocalVector<T>` provided by V8
+for such scenarios:
+
+```cpp
+v8::LocalVector<v8::Value> v1(isolate);
+```
+
 Whenever a `Local` handle is created, a `v8::HandleScope` or
 `v8::EscapableHandleScope` object must exist on the stack. The `Local` is then
 added to that scope and deleted along with it.
