I understand that throwing exceptions (that wouldn’t be thrown in sloppy mode) is a problem. But why is `this`? How would `this` not pointing to the global object inside a strict-mode builtin be observable to the outside? -- Dr. Axel Rauschmayer a...@rauschma.de home: rauschma.de twitter: twitter.com/rauschma blog: 2ality.com
