Missing features
5.4
- Binary number format
- Closure rebinding
Edge cases:
- Calling private methods from within closure
- Ensure
$thatgets passed to nested closures
State
There needs to be a strategy for managing state. A trait transformer needs to keep track of the traits it found. That is currently missing.
Preservation
There should be a way to preserve existing code formatting, especially for code that wasn't actually modified. Instead of pretty-printing everything, only changed parts of the AST should be changed in source. Three-way-diff may help with this.
Line numbers
Is there any way to do something like source maps to refer to the original line numbers, so that code remains at all debuggable?
