           Summary: IndexedDB: Remove IDBKey from WebKitIDL
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 523.x (Safari 3)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jsbell at chromium.org

The WebKit IDB implementation creates a special type, IDBKey, and exposes it in the WebKitIDL files for IDL types, e.g.:

        [CallWith=ScriptExecutionContext] IDBRequest put(in any value, in [Optional] IDBKey key)
            raises (IDBDatabaseException);

This requires logic in the code generator and custom binding code (V8 and JSC) to have special cases for IDBKey.

Alternately, we could match the WebIDL and just have this be an "any", and then expose functions (in the binding layer, I guess) which the implementation of put() (for example) would call to map a DOMObject (usually a ScriptObject) into an IDBKey (or fail).

That would also be a good time to make IDBKey a value type instead of a refcounted class.
