In my precedent post entitled A Pascal record via JavaScript I have showed a basic function able to emulate type hints behavior via JavaScript. Even if that was a proof of concept, I consider other languages simulation of unsupported features an error, first of all because the behavior will rarely be exactly the expected one, secondly because our curent programming language may already have something similar to better learn and use. A new ES5( direction ) As soon as I have written the Pascal example, I have realized that the good "old" Object.defineProperty , implemented in all major browsers (IE The only missing part, intrinsic in the JavaScript nature, is the property type, where this type could be eventually used for arguments or returns checks when the property is a method. My Early Attempts Back in May 2007, my JavaStrict experiment was already trying to do something similar, something implemented after 2 years even in dojo framework as well. This may tell us that ...

Here we are, Hunspell is the answer!

The reason I avoided the usage of the classic " click here for the spell checke...
