[webkit-dev] Preferred style for checking for undefined in our built-in JavaScript code?

[Filip Pizlo]

I’ve also been guilty of:

	if (xxx === void 0)

This is slightly better than saying “undefined”, since that’s not actually a reserved word.

I believe that all of these should perform the same.  We should pick one based on what looks nicest and what has the most clear semantics.
