Thanks for reaching out. I agree with Dmitry's assessment in 13816046<https://codereview.appspot.com/13816046/>. Regardless of TC39 acceptance and remaining spec issues, I see no advantage into baking this into V8 now rather than using it as a polyfill, especially since it would be under a flag. I also don't classify this as one of the features that requires early prototyping in the core V8 code base to test feasibility and answer architectural questions. Given the limited upside, possible feature flux, and no clear urgency for adding now, I advise waiting to land this.
