What Bobby says here is right. While sec-high are usually less bad than
sec-crit, we would still probably chemspill for a sec-high in the wild.
Another thing that is missing is triaging security bugs. If something should
be a sec-crit but it hasn't been marked as such, that's probably worse th

It is actually also available in chrome code in the browser via

As far as I understand it, weak references are useful to avoid leaks when you
don't know (1) who is referring to you or (2) what your lifetime should be.
Revocable proxies are useful to avoid leaks when you don't know (1) but you do
know (2). Of course, if you know both, you don't need either.
For completeness (and irrelevant to this particular message I am replying...) I
should mention that Bill pointed out in email that the cycle collector can't be
completely oblivious to weak references, as I said before. Right now, when the
CC identifies a JS object as garbage, it doesn't do anyt

I have a few disjoint thoughts here.
1. Here's a link to a previous ES-discuss thread about somebody trying to
create an exploit by combining observable weak references with conservative GC.

If you do end up doing a mass move, then you should put some distinctive string
in a message along with the move, along with an explanation of how to filter it
out. That makes clearing out the bugmail pretty easy. You could ask Ehsan for
advice, as he did a similar mass move (though not quite
Using two underscores in a symbol name is bad for some reason. I don't recall
why but maybe somebody in #developers knows...
