Interesting fact actually, it would mean the empty statement is no longer a NOOP. It can actually alter a program. I can't think of a situation where this is the case in es5, not counting preventing syntactical errors. But with implicit return values, the empty statement could make the difference. Not sure if this is a problem, just noting that it seems to be a change, one that'll be hard to debug for once implicit returns are heavily used. OTOH people might be tempted to "optimize" functions by adding an empty statement at the end. Or something. - peter _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
