Yes, I've seen it (I was pointed to it recently) and I've just watched
it again. There's a number of stupid design issues in there which are
consistant with what I have come across, but even so, number + undefined
variable = NaN (instead of syntax error) is a new low. :-)

This is in the Firefox Javascript interpreter, so I don't know if this
behaviour is specific to that interpreter.

Simon.
