I though, that there is some single "js-holy-file", which is a combination of some 3rd-party js-files (libs). And one (the first one) of the libs uses strict mode, and other -- do not (that causes issues in the code of later parts, 'cause the whole file becomes strict). But that exactly I proposed -- to insert into the combined file an /empty statement/ _before_ the first part. Thus, the whole single (combined) file will be non-strict. Even if there are several strict directives later (from every part) -- all of them (including the first one) will be canceled because of this inserted empty statement at the beginning of the file. But repeat, there may be issues with different semantics of /this/ value in strict and non-strict modes. So, as noted, it's just a quick workaround. Also it won't help if a user uses dynamically loaded js-files from external sources. So, this issue may really be the issue for users of such external files. Dmitry. > /be > >
