Look forward to checking it out more, but I found the Turkish 'i' functions particularly interesting. Seems oddly specific - are there not other languages with similar situation? Why isn't this abstracted, I wonder, or why is it included at all? Seems "kitchen sink"-y. Maybe there's some explanation somewhere. Anyways, love Crockford, helped save a project with his JS deepcopy implementation (in addition to JSON and all the other work he's done with the programming community)
