I abolished JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT for two reasons: (1) It caused some people
to think it enabled full JavaScript compatibility, which it did not. (2)
JavaScript seems now to be only one version of ECMAScript. For those
reasons I thought it would be more future-proof if the actual changes to
behaviour were given their own behavioural names, without tying them to
any specific language.
