Agreed. I guess the argument for it is it's more accurately reflected but... who cares? Maybe I'm not understanding what people do with [function].toString() in the real world.

What's even worse is that now frameworks (and viruses) will store data in comments.

I know this because I have wanted to use fn.toString() as part of some meta-programming many years ago (but couldn't because comments were not stored).

I am sure a lot of effort went in to making a good decision, aiming for a good outcome, but this smells like a bad one.
