Pending TC39 Consensus

• Issue is a ECMAScript compliance bug but requires TC39 consensus before action is taken to address it in ChakraCore.

• Issue is actually a question rather than a problem or proposal.

Suggestion

• Issue is a suggested feature or change but is not a formal proposal.

Task

Test (omitted)

• We are deliberately omitting this label because issues of this category generally fit into either Task or Bug. Labeling something as Test causes developers to de-prioritize the issues, even if they would otherwise be regarded as important.

Won't Fix

• Issue will not be fixed.

Your first PR

• Issue is well suited to for people new to GitHub contributions -- we're here to help you get started in OSS. These issues are typically limited in scope and impact and thus are good starting points to become familiar with being a contributor to ChakraCore. See also: Accepting PRs.
