Yes, I cannot imagine that this would not break a few existing web pages. What are you proposing for module bindings then? They would have to be visible later on for the "use modules" excuse to work. Do they clash/shadow/overwrite? And wouldn't it be a bit unfortunate/counter-intuitive to have different rules for modules and other lexical bindings? Btw, the modules excuse can likewise be applied in defence of STL: "sorry, name clash, wrap in a module". /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
