apparently `ecmascript' is incomplete in needing (after a cursory

The EcmaScript implementation pre-dates the Interpreter framework,
and has not bee updated to use it.
It's pretty incomplete in other ways too: It doesn't handle loops,
or class definitons, for example.
is this right? if so, then i'll just write one.
It'a a non trivial job, if you want something useful. At one point
I understood enough of the EcmaScrpt specification to understand how to
implement most of it, but I didn't actually do it. Now I've forgotten
most of it. When Rhino came out that removed much of the motivation of
Kawa-EcmaScript.
But if you want to start by integating gnu.emcascript into the
current Interpreter framework, that would be good.
