From YouTube: SES Meeting: Get Intrinsics

Description

Jordan Harband, champion of the Get Intrinsics Proposal, joins us to iron out the SES strategy group’s position in advance of the plenary meeting in the coming week. We concluded that the proposal was good as-written because it satisfies the criteria: hidden intrinsics are distinguishable by parsing the first component of its name and checking whether a property exists on the global, and enumeration order places language intrinsics, the global object, and host intrinsics in order.

So, Repair Intrinsics for Hardened JavaScript can rely on the heuristic that all new undeniable intrinsics will be both before the global object and have no corresponding global, hardening such objects as they are revealed by language evolution.
