Yes, thank you. Any chance of the revised text making it to a spec
somewhere where people might see it (and maybe even fix existing
implementations)? ;)
In any case, the updated text says that if HasBinding returns true then
the implementation should call [[GetOwnProperty]] on the global. If
this returns undefined, then [[DefineOwnProperty]] is called on the
global with the property descriptor: {[[Value]]: undefined,
[[Writable]]: true, [[Enumerable]]: true , [[Configurable]]:
configurableBindings }.
So now to make var shadow some property that property needs to either
return false from HasBinding or return undefined from [[GetOwnProperty]].
Cameron, can GSP properties return undefined from [[GetOwnProperty]] but
still do what they should for window.foo and bareword lookups without
other things elsewhere breaking?
