And if the feature does/would possibilitate the authorship of "unsavory" code? Then what? What of it? WHAT OF IT??! If all such features were removed from JavaScript, then JavaScript would mutate into a "1001 training wheels language", a language for uncreative dimwits. What would be so great about having one more of those? We already have JAVA, I think that's sufficient. If "training wheels" are so dear to you, please go play with your marbles, bye.
