Thanks a lot.
On find(), I believe it will always be ambiguous, compared to findIndex,
for the simple reason that an Array could contain undefined too [1,
undefined, 2] ... probably an edge case not worth the consideration, but
this looks like a legit code to me:
[1, undefined, 2].find(function (item) {
return typeof item === 'undefined';
}) === undefined;
who knows if that was the undefined item, or the missing result ... not
sure how to solve that ... just thinking about something like:
var found = /* same code */
if (Array.itemFound) {
// use found
} else {
arr.push(createSomethingCool());
}
Array.itemFound would be "as ugly as RegExp.$N" and true until next
[].find() call ... plus read only for the user.
Well, this might work ... I guess
