Could be. My example closed the block in which the private name was scoped without exporting MyClass! Oops. If I'd used a module with inline body, then export prefixing the function MyClass would do the job, but it's a bit heavy. Still, we moved private name objects ahead, and rightly so, without adding syntax for them. Syntax is hard (I underestimate this sometimes). /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
