Hi all, ES6 is shaping up quite nicely. The last big area which I feel is still quite foggy is syntactic support for symbolic property names, which Allen has addressed with his at-names proposal. Perhaps syntax won't make it into ES6 regardless of the work we do, but I think the symbol "story" isn't finished until we've got something.
With that in mind, I've created a sketch of an alternative at-name syntax story. I've tried to include enough detail to show that it might work, but not so much that I never finish the sketch : ) The basic idea is that modules implicitly define symbol namespaces. Symbols can be imported from other modules, or from a "world" symbol map which contains interned symbols for the entire execution environment. Read on: https://gist.github.com/3868131 The actual design sketch follows some initial examples. Thanks! Kevin
