As I read the proposal, I do wish an invoke-like trap had been accepted - but I understand that there were some technicalities that proved unresolvable.
Everyone wants __noSuchMethod__ -- we still support it in SpiderMonkey, and probably will for a long time.
A simple solution that would allow maintaining the above mentioned 'invariant' in most cases and allow breaking it when necessary would involve a flag passed into the 'get' handler indicating that the property is about to be 'called'. What would be the negative ramifications of such a solution (asides from the fact that it may get abused - like the 'get' accessor in es5 ;)?
This is a good idea. In all practical implementations, callee expressions are specialized so the "get" can tell it is computing a callee. This is done to bind |this| in the call expression of which the callee expression is a left prefix.
Mark and Tom may have thoughts. /be _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
