It is never safe to assume that just because something is out
there on the web that it is "nothing particularly bad"... (FML)
I'm not surprised to read this, though. Putting mutable proto into the
language is far more than just regulating existing practice.
Your point may be general, but in case there's confusion about this
"new" demand for mutable [[Prototype]]: nothing is new here. The
adoptNode API is pretty old, a de-facto standard. The horse left the
barn many years ago.
It is blessing it. That is a psychological factor that should not be
underestimated. I fully expect to see significantly more code in the
future that considers it normal to use this feature, and that no
amount of evangelization can counter the legislation precedent.
Noted, and known. But then:
That is, if having it at all, I'd still think it much wiser to ban it
to some Appendix.
What earthly good would that do?
