A simple solution that would allow maintaining the

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.
[[Get]] in JavaScriptCore does not distinguish the get for a.b vs
a.b(), i like to imagine that we count as being a practical
implementation ;)
My mistake, I thought JSC did. How do you compute |this| for the call?
I mean, |this| binds to whatever |a| evaluated to, and it evaluates
only once, so *something* differs in how you compile a.b in an
expression such as (x = a.b) or (a.b + c.d) vs. how you compile a.b in
a.b().
