Well, for now I want to keep $W and $$W as a separate addition. It's very unlikely that wrappers are to replace element extension anytime before ver. 2.0. Having a working implementation now will help us test it thoroughly (before moving it into the core). I'm not sure if we should "pre-wrap" elements or do the "lazy init". First approach "hits" the memory consumption, while second - run-time performance. We'll need benchmarks for this. -- kangax --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.
