I also missed the awesome bind-operator. EG:
const getFoo = () => this.foo;
const bar = { foo: 1 };
console.log(bar::getFoo()); // 1
+value|0

You would need to use `function` for this:
function getFoo() {
return this.foo;
}If you're putting getFoo at whatever level of scope that you'd run it over multiple bar objects that don't have it bound, why is it conceptually different than writing it as
getFooOfBar(this_bar:hasfoo) => this_bar.foo
I had honestly not seen the bind operator used in at least the last decade, so perhaps the dissonance is just whatever corner of tech I work in having a distinct style/idioms.
Why exactly do you want that? Is it arbitrary precision you want? Is the 56 bits or whatever not enough for your use-case? Or do you find the range checks are too expensive in practice?
