More generic than the one in the Kona draft? How? As written, it will curry anything with a [[Call]] property. It conditions whether to use the 'prototype' and 'length' properties of the original based on whether the original's [[Class]] is "Function". And it will curry the original's [[Construct]] property only if the original has a [[Construct]] property. I had hoped we could agree to make it less generic -- all these conditionals are troublesome. But how would you make it more generic? I also don't see a problem with David-Sarah's suggestion of forbidding host objects from having [[Class]] "Function". Most places in the spec care only about whether something is callable (has a [[Call]] property), not whether it has [[Class]] "Function". -- Cheers, --MarkM
