Actually I think "temp" could be used with very little in the code break way. Why? Because it wouldn't be a single keyword construct. There are only a very few cases that are legal in code today where the token "temp" followed by an identifier token could appear, and those cases are mostly ASI related and would result in a nop. Since |"temp" ident| will in the vast majority of cases be a syntax error, the one in question would be |"temp" destructassign|. It does not necessarily clash with identifiers that spell out "temp". I think the actual clash that you would find there is when you try to use destructuring assignment of the array type. Possibly some with the object form and block statements, though I believe the only case where the "temp" reference is not a nop if written today is the array destructuring form. Not that this would make it a a good idea, just that this particular argument isn't as strong as you'd maybe think. _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
