@BigBlueHat I understand your frustration. But we need to find a balance
between merging quickly and making sure they the right patch for Couchdb. As
@ziggythehamster said adding the es5-shim is not much more work and I think a
much better addition. So I would prefer to see that added instead. At this
stage we know that `indexOf` fails in one section. But we don't know if there
are other features failing in other pages. Adding the shim should cover us.
@ziggythehamster in terms of licensing. Just add the es5-shim license to
the files NOTICE and LICENSE. Add the es5-shim file to license.skip. Plenty of
examples in those files to help.
