But why would anyone want to opt-in to get warnings or even worse syntax errors
for code like this that depends on ASI, where ASI is helping out :
"die in hell ASI, i hate you with the fiery passion of a thousand burning
suns.";
// ^^^^^^^^^ the anti-ASI directive ^^^^^^^^^^
a= b
c= d
function e () { f() }
*** Warning missing semicolon @ line #4,5
*** Warning missing semicolon @ line #5,5
*** Warning missing semicolon @ line #6,19
Or even worse, halt the program with a:
Syntax error missing semicolon @ line #4,5
?
I understand that it would be quite interesting to get a warning/error in this
case:
a= b
(c= d)();
...only that there's no ASI in this case !
