Well, that's clearly up to interpretation. Instead of having "identity", you can just as well view symbols as something with unique abstract "content". That is, I disagree that this alone is a deal-breaker of any kind. But nevertheless, of course, using typeof symbol === "string" would be bad for other reasons, some of which have been brought up in this thread. /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
