Existing types with magic index properties (other than Array) just drop numeric expandos on the floor so it's logically a no-op. Unless there was a numeric accessor on the prototype (which non-extensibility does not save you from).
My complaint is that this appears to be removing functionality that has been present in the majority of shipping TA implementations, assuming from LH's comment that Chakra supports expandos. --Oliver On Aug 27, 2013, at 9:26 AM, Domenic Denicola <[email protected]> wrote: > I am not aware of all the nuances of the discussion, but as a developer I > would find the behavior for numeric expandos confusing.
