It affects strict mode code too in existing implementations: there you go from not throwing on e.g. `0123456789` (which is not an octal literal because of the `8` and `9`) to suddenly throwing a syntax error when the value changes to `0` followed by only octal digits (as then it is an octal literal). See my previous posts in this thread. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
