Seems this has not landed yet. We should probably wait a bit before adding support.

This is pretty much just a shorthand which doesn't change any semantics really, and there seems to be some agreement on the syntax.

We want this to make it look nice and brief to expose an interface on all interfaces.

From my reading, there is no real agreement yet. I don't think we should add non-standard things. Once the spec gets updated, I have no objection though.

Nice, could you please take a look at the bindings EWS failure?

May just need a rebaseline, I haven't checked but I bet it is related given the area of the patch.

Oops, missed the test failures. Rebaselined, hopefully that does it.

This is already implied by "Worker" above, no?

ditto.

This is already implied by "Worklet" above no?

ditto.

Because of this, I worry that an interface marked as "Exposed=*" will generate several properties in the ServiceWorker prototype (one on ServiceWorkerPrototype, one on WorkerPrototype).
Am I missing something?

Notice that DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope now has a ExposedStar property, even though DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope is a subclass of WorkerGlobalScope...

...And WorkerGlobalScope has the WorkerGlobalScope already.

Yep -- I guess I had the idea that this could include all supported values, but I've removed Worker/Worklet and left a comment indicating what this is used for.

This is the opposite of what I expected. I thought this would be "Window", "Worker", "Worklet".
This has an impact on which prototype object the property is exposed so it is important to get right. Does the spec say which one is right (Your patch proposal or my proposal?). If not, we may want to request that the specification is clarified.

Ok, I just checked the spec and what you implemented seems to match the spec. The spec says "only interfaces marked as "[Global]". Indeed, DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope is marked as [Global] but not WorkerGlobalScope.

I think your comment should be clarified to mention that it should only contains interfaces that have the [Global] extended attribute.
