This is a judgment call, I'm with Jason, I think we should revisit. I'm putting it on the TC39 meeting agenda.

So we discussed all that when we made that decision. I understand that you disagree but is there any new data that should cause us to reopen an issue that was already discussed and decided at a TC39 meeting?

ES6 adds a clz function, but it's a method of Number.prototype.clz
rather than Math.clz.

The rationale for this decision is here (search for clz in the page):
http://esdiscuss.org/notes/2013-07-25

Can we reverse this, for users' sake? The pattern in ES1-5 is quite
strong: math functions go on the Math object.

The rationale (What if we add a uint64 type?) doesn't seem compelling
enough to justify the weirdness of the result: we'll have a single
mathematical operation available only as a Number method, and all
others available only as Math functions.
