This is a mixin, which means that it needs methods, not functions. Fat arrows aren't meant for methods. This should rightly use 'function' (which is meant for methods), or eventually use a mixin syntax. (We should keep this in mind as an example of mixins, so we don't accidentally forbid the ability to choose which mixin to use dynamically, like this does.) ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
