That’s always going to be a possibility, no matter what we do or how we do it. I think it would be a rather pointless hack now that I can run the code. For the most part, the engine treats these as numbers and trying to dodge that will land you in hot water eventually. > > And I don't understand the purpose of polyfills at all.

Ah, that could probably be clearer in the RFC, but you have to make it public to be able to use it. It’s a bit clunky to use without the extension, but that’s mostly because I didn’t want to get into OperandPosition from Jordan’s RFC. Many people were confused about it, so I’m just avoiding it. — Rob
