I heard Google is working on this "Dart" thing. Unless Google redefine 
APIs for every single web browser capability, it will probably need to 
define WebIDL bindings for Dart. But what do I know...

Arguably, ES6 symbols may give a re-birth to ad-hoc collection types by 
allowing safe (uncollidable) extension of built-ins. I think an IDL 
array is fine (as far as I can tell, the difference with a regular array 
is just a different prototype).
