Hi there, this is my first message to the list. Thanks for all that you do to improve the programming language for the web!
This is probably a curious proposal that will go nowhere but I thought it'd be interesting to share a suggestion and see how it goes. I teach introductory JavaScript. Students have a hard time remembering the method name Math.ceil(). It looks like the name "ceil" dates back to at least the C programming language, and probably earlier. I suggest introducing Math.roundUp() as an alias for Math.ceil() to provide an easier to read and remember method name. If this makes sense, introducing Math.roundDown() might be a good alias for Math.floor() as well. I searched for previous discussions on creating method name aliases and couldn't find one to see how the committee has made decisions about them in the past. Thanks, -- Eric Lewis ericandrewlewis.com
