While we're on the topic, let me bang the drum one last time for tweaking some of the `Array` built-ins so that they can be applied to `TypedArray`s. The fact that there are separate `Array.from` and `%TypedArray%.from` methods in the spec (for example) makes me sad. IIRC all that is needed in `Array.from` is to avoid writing the length field if the length of the receiver is already correct. Similarly, if we defined a `GetLength` helper that special-cased instances of `TypedArray`, the definitions of `Array#forEach`, etc could simply say, "`%TypedArray%#forEach` is strictly equal to `Array#forEach`".
Of course implementors will specialize on the receiver type, but this detail shouldn't be exposed in the spec IMO. --scott
