That is a good idea, but I wonder: Would programs use that?
a program could use:
i = parseInt(x)
- which can result in undesirable behavior. That is fixed by:-
i = parseInt(x, 10)
- or the proposal:-
if(typeof parseInteger == "function") {
i = parseInteger(x);
} else {
i = parseInt(x, 10);
}
-which seems a bit clunky. How about just:-
i = parseInteger(x)
but that last one may result in an error, should the implementation
not support the new function. Programs that use parseInt(x, 10) will
work in more implementations.
