Description Sebastian Zartner CLA 2012-12-29 05:16:43 EST 
As of http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/#sec-7.6.1.2 there are several reserved keywords like "extends" and "const".

Some browsers like Firefox and Chrome already support the "const" identifier, though, while others don't.
Note that this keyword currently causes some problems like described in bug 326842 and bug 385274. There can also be found test cases for this.

So there should be an option for such identifiers in Preferences > JavaScript > Validator > Potential programming problems. This option should be set to "Warning" by default.
