Diverging the definition of line terminator for the purpose of line counting on one side, and ASI and single-line comment on the other side, is adding yet another complication in a matter that is already messy. And I suspect that most tools that have issues with the former case, have issues as well with the latter case, so that half-fixing is equivalent to not fixing. If we want to ”fix” the definition of line terminator somewhere, we should ”fix” it everywhere. (Note that the recent addition of U+2028 and U+2029 inside string literals does not constitutes a modification of the definition of line terminator in that context; it is rather allowing string literals to span multiple lines in some specific cases.) —Claude _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
