+1 from me too. AST + tools (compile JS to AST, get AST from a function
object, produce a function object from AST, simple AST manipulations,
and so on) will help us (JS developers) tremendously by reducing the
existing hackery, and increasing the performance, while clearing the
road for the various meta-programming techniques.
