JavaScript was my first language so I don't have the pollution of Java-isms to confuse me. I can only go by what's spec'ed as I lack the inside info ;) Native object: http://es5.github.com/#x4.3.6 Built-in object: http://es5.github.com/#x4.3.7 Host object: http://es5.github.com/#x4.3.8 I should stress that the technical category of the object is less important to me. I really just wanted to +1 allowing objects like `window.opera` to continue to have `{}.toString.call(...)` results like `[object Opera]` under ES6. - JDD _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
