Please don't ask dumb rhetorical questions. Obviously we could change JS incompatbily to match Ruby or another language. Doing so risks breaking some web scripts. Therefore the change had better be of high value, and in any case it must be done only with "opt in" versioning. But calling methods on integers is uncommon, so the value is extremely low. /be _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
