Hmm. Yeah. The scope property would be the global object, but that would also seem to unobservable for an empty function. The current wording describes a solution that is less than optimal, and actually describes the step of creating an empty string for this situation. It is verbose about something that would probably otherwise be implemented more efficiently by engine devs. Garrett > -- > David "liorean" Andersson _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
