Right, which is why I'm saying I don't understand the problem with `Date.prototype.toString()`. It's not a `Date`, it's a `Date.prototype`. Throwing an error is more informative than hiding it and returning something arbitrary. As has been mentioned, debuggers have to deal with the fact that `toString` can have side-effects, throw exceptions, etc, anyway. What problem are we actually solving here? --scott _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
