I expect "with" and 02468 will continue to be allowed in es6 sloppy, es8
sloppy, and es1000 sloppy. The best way to think of sloppy code is "es3
compatibility mode". I don't see that there's any other sensible purpose
for it. Why would you want to say "with" or 02468 for any purpose other
than not breaking old legacy es3 code?
