Looking at Allen's collection classes, it's clear that our maximally minimal classes aren't sufficient for describing a large subset of the classes we might want to create. As a general goal, I think that a complete class syntax should be able to express all of the external interface of the class, for all except a small set of edge cases. I believe the following features are missing:
1) A way to add methods to the constructor. 2) A way to add arbitrary properties to the constructor. 3) A way to add arbitrary properties to the prototype. I'd also like to add a fourth feature: 4) The ability to separately define the [[Call]] and [[Construct]] behavior of the constructor. I've created a couple of gists with a variant of our minimal classes which is intended to provide these features: https://gist.github.com/2319957 https://gist.github.com/2322512 I've used "static" as a keyword. I know it's a misnomer - but it's not too bad as misnomers go. I've also left out private members and private names, as IMO they are an orthogonal concern. Let me know what you think - and thanks for your time everyone! kevin
