Despite working with ES3+, the perceived age of the project is probably a
deterrent, and we really should be showing users the modern way of doing
things.
`impl-details.texi' was _not_ modernized because those details are indeed
specific to ES3.
* doc/classes.texi:
* doc/integration.texi:
* doc/interop.texi:
* doc/mkeywords.texi: Update documentation.
* lib/class.js (assertInstanceOf, assertIsA): New methods.
* test/Class/GeneralTest.js: Add respective tests.
* doc/classes.texi (Type Checks and Polymorphism): Add reference for
methods. Update and format text. Add indexes for "polymorphism",
"type checking", and "duck typing".
This behavior is consistent with other OO languages like C++ and C# that do
not have virtual methods by default.
This solution isn't ideal, but I don't have time for a larger refactoring
right now. I sat on this change for a good few weeks before committing it
unchanged.
* lib/MemberBuilderValidator.js (validateMethod): Allow override of
supertype overrides.
* test/*: Stripped `virtual' keyword where appropriate.
* doc/classes.texi (Inheritance): Update to state that `override' implies
`virtual'.
My writing style has changed quite a bit since this was first written.
* doc/classes.text (Constructors):
Reword section.
Remove reference to static classes and singletons (we do not want to
encourage such things).
Add mention of good constructor practices.
* doc/classes.texi (Defining Classes): Remove the recommendation for using
the `public' keyword always (instead of omitting it), and the reference
stating that it may be required in the future. This is not the case.
I upgraded Texinfo recently and found that ease.js' documentation would no
longer compile. The errors make sense, but it's an unfortunate regression.
The previous version that I was using was 4.13, which is quite old.
