b) Should the names of macros indicate how they're implemented or should they
just look like other functions?
Just a quick explanation for this: the script that embeds self-hosted
JS invokes a Python script, builtins/macros.py, that replaces some
constructs such as IS_UNDEFINED by proper JS code. I.e., they've got
nothing to do with sweet.js or some other fancy thing.
I'm side-tracking a bit, what's the value of these macros instead of
just functions?
IIRC, small functions are inlined by the JIT. Or maybe functions cost
too much until LazyBytecode [1] is fixed?
