There's no invisible switch. You are assuming something not

I guess I'm saying that anything other than inheritance, without the
pragma, is an invisible switch.
1. Except for module.
2. Non-locality of "use strict" in the medium-to-large makes for an
effectively invisible, or at least hard to see as in effect, switch.
I'm not sure what "pragma-haunts" means. Adding "use strict"; to
ClassElement sounds more like that, and I'm clearly arguing against!
OK - good!
So are you in favor of class body as strict by default?
Who actually uses this or an equivalent? I see lots of code
choosing one or another module/package system but few attempts at
dual interop. I haven't see this in the field, but I'm not looking
hard.

If you want your code to work in Node+AMD+Whatever that's what you're
stuck with.
There must be a lot of Node-only modules that I tend to look at.
This is all fun, but "ultimately" is a giveaway. Years from now,
modules uber alles, you bet. I'm arguing against coupled
(multiplied) risk in the near term.
I'm glad to be entertaining : )
And see your point about multiplied risk - I just don't think there's
much risk of non-adoption of modules in the near term (year and a half?).
I hope you're right, but is after a year and a half really what you
meant by "ultimately"? I see a fight, not taking sides or blaming
anyone. JS is big enough and multi-paradigm enough that multiple schools
of thought already hold sway over large factions of developers. The
amount of legacy code is quite large, too.
This all adds up in my view to an unclear setting in which to place all
bets only on module as implicitly strict.
