Unfortunately, that only works for primitives because the respective constructor/wrapper class is known to exist in all realms, it is known to be "the same" everywhere, and because the language can hence apply some magic to "rebind" it when primitives cross realm boundaries. For user-defined values, no such guarantees exist. Hence, no similar rebinding magic can be applied, and values have to hold on to their original constructor. /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
