#18 feature request: support for /*jsl:declare document.body*/

[Martin Harper]

I would like to have the possibility to write:

/*jsl:declare a.b*/

This would allow code of this form:

var x = a.b;

However, it would warn on code of this form:

var x = a; // warns of undeclared variable a
var x = a.c; // warns of undeclared variable a
var x = b; // warns of undeclared variable b

For example, I would like to replace this line:

/*jsl:declare document*/

with:

/*jsl:declare document.getElementById*/
/*jsl:declare document.body*/
/*jsl:declare document.etc*/

This would mean that use of document.randomid and document.all.randomid would be flagged up by javascript lint.

Proposal:

* Allow declarations of object.property.
* If an object has any declared properties, warn against [] lookups
* If an object has any declared properties, warn against undeclared properties.
* The declaration of object.property is *not* an implicit declaration of object. object must be declared separately to validate its references.

Not as bad as I thought it might be.
