`const` function arguments and object property shorthand

# Alexander Jones (10 years ago)

Propose:

function(const foo, const bar) {
}

{
    const foo: bar
}

Such that the names foo and bar are not assignable in the function body or as an object property - such assignment would ideally have identical behaviour to assigning to a const variable, i.e. a SyntaxError, although in the object case, as the 'constness' is not statically determinable, so I think this would have to just behave like a non writable property, or throw a runtime error instead.

Possible equivalence to:

function(foo_, bar_) {
    const foo = foo_;
    const bar = bar_;
}

Object.create(Object.prototype, {
    foo: {enumerable: true},
})

Cheers
