All about those sets.

I’m going to boldly suggest we move from long to unsigned long since the risk of fixing this is infinitesimal. Doesn’t even matter if the C++ code uses int or unsigned since it’s just an opaque handle.

Since we are adding a period here, do we want the version of die with a newline that doesn’t cite where the die statement is?

Are we going to rewrite in Python once we can require Python 3? It’s tempting!

Not the biggest fan of the ellipses.

Missed opportunity for the idiomatic perl one-line if statement.

Seems like a redundant comment, since code says exactly that.

> Source/WebCore/bindings/scripts/CodeGenerator.pm:404
> +                    # Record that this method is implemented by $interfaceName.

Seems like a redundant comment, since code says exactly that.

> Source/WebCore/bindings/scripts/CodeGenerator.pm:424
> +                    # Record that this constant is implemented by $interfaceName.

Seems like a redundant comment, since code says exactly that.

This seems not so great. Now that the beginning of the regular expression is not anchored at beginnings of lines, it seems like this expression could match after any character. Maybe we need a \b in there?

Bold! Made the change.

I'm not familiar with that. How do you use this other version of die?

Yeah, I think I am going to.

Yeah, we need the \b in there. Will fix.
