arguments.callee (from Andrea Giammarchi's blog)

[Keryx Web]

Hello all!

I'm sorry if this is old and has been discussed, but I've not been able
to follow this list with care for a few months.

Anyway, I think Andrea Giammarchi has a few very valid points about
arguments.callee and a few other arguments quirks:

Is the decision about arguments.callee totally irrevocable by now?

If I've understood him right then in the first case he is arguing for callee because it is a workaround for a bug in  JScript where var g = function foo() { return g === foo; } returns false.  Presumably his concerns could be met by not removing callee from IE before that bug is fixed?

The second case he is arguing for callee for performance reasons.  Given the expected low performance of callee that doesn't make much sense for me.

 

Is the decision about arguments.callee totally irrevocable by now?
