The reasons that were brought up were: a) JavaScript will have it in some future -> works in the same way as C++ has this or Java that b) We used to have in our first implementation -> which by the way used curly braces, and the only reason we we dropped it was because I was outruled by you and Zeev when we encountered the ternariy ambiguty and noone tought it was fixable even though I said it was fixable. Sadly I never provided a working patch back then. c) We said we were adding namespaces at some point, not saying in which way we would. Best regards, Marcus
