Dear everyone who diligently worked on ECMAScript Edition5,
I am often confused by the name of the internal method
[[GetOwnProperty]](p). This name, if read literally, would indicate that
this method gets a property, but in fact this method returns a property
descriptor instead. Therefore, I am wondering if it should be renamed
[[GetOwnPropertyDescriptor]] or [[GetOwnPropretyDesc]]?
Thank you for spending your precious time in reading this letter.
