Jason Smith commented on COUCHDB-1397:
--------------------------------------
@Paul, good points.
So, we disagree on where to make the trade-off. That's fine. I yield to you and
the community if that is its consensus. (Is it?)
CouchDB should support the ubiquitous, nice-looking, and relaxing "invalid"
style even if that means "(" + ")". But it should *not* support helper function
people. Obviously that is just IMO.
But if CouchDB *does* change and we *do* start writing valid
statements/programs in our ddocs, Max's suggestion of the
standard--CommonJS--is clearly best.

> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JavaScript View Server
> Affects Versions: 1.2.1
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Jason Smith
>
> New SpiderMonkey releases do not eval() a sole anonymous function expression.
> That is not a valid JavaScript statement, and so it is not a valid JavaScript
> script.
> COUCHDB-1302 addressed this for 1.1 and the 1.1.x branch. This ticket is for
> 1.2. (Sorry to spam COUCHDB-1302. I saw "Unassigned" and read "Unresolved.")
