Disagree. Since ECMAScript knows the type of the arguments, it does _not_ need the format specifier to tell it the type (as C does). Apparent mismatches should be left open as extensions. For example, the `x` formatter should simply specify that numeric values should be expressed in base 16, not that the value _must_ be a number. That way, you could pass an Array of numbers to `x` and see the numbers in base 16. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
