+1 to that, too. It does make things easier to read. Ruby has had that for decades. It is a very specific use-case, but I feel like we shouldn't disregard non-generic use-cases. 0644 (used in node.js in a unix environment) is a non-generic use-case, and as such I feel it shouldn't just die. That is why I would like 0644 and 0o644 to co-exist. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
