This suggestion was in the context of "symbol strings", which are just strings in a separate namespace, rather than the existing concept of symbols as a unique, empty, frozen object. With a symbol string, where you retrieve it from doesn't matter - equality is still based on the contents. If you want guaranteed non-conflict with user-space symbols, you need a third namespace. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
