How would object value types such as int64 work? Should symbols be
similar?
That came up and was an argument for making typeof sym == "symbol",
given sym = Symbol(). Same for int64 and uint64 in my patch at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749786
Can’t wait for those. They might even warrant an update to JSON.
No, JSON has arbitrary precision decimal numeric literals. Good enough
for lots of representations. It's up to the schema (where's that?) to
say the type.
/be
(Note on that bug's patch: it still allows i = new int64(0) but I
will change new to throw, per agreement at last TC39 meeting to make
new create a reference type instead of a value type for aggregates
from binary data, i.e. structs and typed arrays.)
Nice. If symbols mimic this behavior then it probably should be
symbol() instead of Symbol().
