Since the example function here is called "topLevel", I'd like to remind everyone that the constraint we're talking about would apply to all functions -- the lexical "this propagation" rule is dead. Regarding the choices, * "undefined" is more uniform and easier to explain. * Throwing an exception is safer. * Even safer would be that a function that mentions "this" is considered a method, and an attempt to call it as a function throws without ever entering the function. Caja currently does the last. I'm happy with any of these choices. -- Cheers, --MarkM _______________________________________________ Es4-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es4-discuss
