Thanks for all the answers, everyone. I like Geoff’s proposal. Seems like we should not have to wait long for the “long term”. It seems that the built-in compiler could start magically transforming “@undefined” instead of magically transforming “undefined” any time we like; likely a simple find and replace job. Or it could do both during a transition period. It could even treat a bare “undefined” as an error if we are worried that we will make that error. Then perhaps later we could relieve the built-in compiler of those responsibilities if we think that’s important. — Darin _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
