+1 for unified global-object (currently stage-3)
can someone pm me what the redacted-name is? i'm interested in polyfilling it
for existing projects, e.g.:
```js
/*jslint browser*/
/*global global process*/
(function () {
/*
* polyfill for
* https://github.com/tc39/proposal-global
* assuming redacted-name is "global2"
*/
"use strict";
var global2;
try {
global2 = process.versions.node && global;
} catch (ignore) {
}
global2 = global2 || window;
global2.global2 = global2;
}());
```
