That makes no sense. I neither understand what this is supposed to achieve, nor how it could possibly be implemented other than by going over the entire heap and replace all pointers. You cannot just "set 'this' to point to new map". It doesn't seem to intend changing the semantics either, so even if it made sense, would be entirely irrelevant for the spec. /Andreas _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
