Sounds doable. That said, you've gotten good answers that you don't like. It happens, and it's better than not getting an answer or getting a bad one. The polyfill you're working on can be accomplished other ways (http://code.google.com/p/traceur-compiler/). There's always a tax for emulating the new thing with the old, and this case that's caller. More to the point, it's a polyfill; once ES6 lands in engines, class syntax will give you super() for free, complete with whatever optimizations make sense. If you have performance issues, I recommend what everyone else here has: write benchmarks and file bugs. Beyond that, I think this horse is both dead and beaten. > On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 4:40 PM, Brendan Eich <bren...@mozilla.com> wrote: > >> Andrea Giammarchi wrote: >> >>> Said that, I would rather force removal of "use strict" 'cause if there >>> is explicit desire from the developer.
