I just remembered that I also do a sort of `Object.empty` in my own code somewhat frequently, as can be seen here for example:
https://github.com/getify/asynquence/blob/master/asq.src.js#L826 Declaring an empty object: `var ø = Object.create(null)`, and then using that `ø` as a sort of "global" DMZ object that I use for any place where I need a throw-away `this` binding, like `apply(..)`, `bind(..)`, etc. I also wrote about that technique in "YDKJS: this & Object Prototypes", here: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS/blob/master/this%20&%20object%20prototypes/ch2.md#safer-this So, having an `Object.empty` might be nice in place of `ø`. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
