Honestly, this should probably be answered by fixing the linter, so it doesn't give linting errors when a variable named "_" is unused. (In fact, it should probably do the opposite, and give a lint error when _ *is* used. This'll make users of underscore or lo-dash unhappy, though. ^_^) ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
