Sorry about that. The proposal had some flaws that need to be addressed in a new proposal. I'm working on it with Ihab. The problem was that the proposal required the injected scopes names to be declared at time of parse/compile instead of time of execution, which made the module factory functions less reusable. The new proposal will probably look like: var factory = XYZ(text, fileName_opt, lineNo_opt); var lastValue = factory(scopeInjected_opt); For some value of XYZ. XYZ might involve creating a Context with some primordials. The primordials might have frozen or pre-frozen variations. There could be a separate system for constructing a set of primordials. There will certainly be a note that only the owned properties of the scopeInjected Object will be transferred into the evaluated scope. Whether the injected terms must be constants is up for debate.
