This is a resurrection of an earlier proposal from Nathan Wall [1], that
would make Function.length configurable. The initial proposal was to make
it writable, but configurable instead was suggested by Claude Pache [2].
Nathan's original post [1] does a good job of outlining the motivation, so
I won't reiterate them here. From what I can gather, making
Function.length configurable seemed to receive a positive response [3] [4]
[5], but the thread apparently died. Perhaps I just need to find a new API
paradigm, but I run into this issue on a regular basis writing callback
utilities, and would be very interested in seeing this move forward.
For convenience, the Function.length spec from the latest draft [6]:
This is a data property with a value of 1. This property has the attributes
{ [[Writable]]: false, [[Enumerable]]: false, [[Configurable]]: false }.
