Description Mike West 2013-02-28 01:33:43 PST 
In https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92648, we changed the behavior of $ and $$ in the console. To ease developers into the change, we added a fallback to the previous behavior, along with console warning.

It's been about 6 months since we landed that change. Perhaps we should falling back to the old behavior?

If there's agreement that it's been long enough for the warning to have done it's work, the attached patch should take care of things.

I don't think the new way is popular enough yet. I'd leave it there for another year - it does not hurt.

Some browsers also haven't shipped the original change yet…
