This is also true of the private names proposal with the overloaded dot notation. Given any expression <<expr>>.foo, the expression is equivalent to <<expr>>[#.foo]. (If `foo' is not private, then the expression is also equivalent to <<expr>>['foo'] as usual.) > Bracket notation can additionally accommodate any string that doesn't qualify > as an IdentifierName. That's what I meant by "superset." And that would continue to be true as well. So I still don't see how that's an argument against private dot-notation.
