This can bring up various syntactic troubles. What does the following do?
let mod
+3
Is it calling the mod operator on the variable named "let" and +3? Or is it defining a
variable named "mod" with no initializer, followed by an expression?
I can't declare 'let' or 'var' as variable names, but even if I could (Say
non-strict mode or ES3) that form would be a VariableDeclaration followed by an
ExpressionStatement.
The proposed grammar extension is:
MultiplicativeOperator: one of
* / % div mod
And I'm saying that's potentially problematic because it changes the meaning of existing
programs that happen to use "mod" as a variable name. The above is one example
that would turn a let statement into a mod expression. Here's another example:
x = 4
mod(foo)
