weird. text is

we could certainly add a feature as normative optional, and HTML could make it prohibited in browsers

Yep. When I long press to reply, I see that text.

I am super curious to discover what programmatic condition causes this erasure.

Please could someone else with an iPhone reply to the original message with the same text as Jordan.

it would be very handy in this webtransport implementation i wrote. but fyi on "will not be used in browsers", browsers already have indexeddb.cmp which can compare typedarrays so its not new functionality for them.
17:13
<snek>
my problem is actually that i'm not in a browser, or i'd just use that
17:15
<bakkot>
it's true that browsers already contain a lot of garbage, indexeddb included, but I don't want that to be a reason to add more
17:15
<bakkot>
("I have an actual use case in the browser" is a perfectly good reason, to be clear; I'm not saying I'm opposed to this, just that I want it to have at least some compelling motivating use cases in browsers specifically)
17:19
<snek>
huh does using not work with destructuring :(
17:20
<snek>
i don't know that the use cases are browser or non-browser specific. do you mean a use case specifically tailored to a browser or just something that isn't explicitly not browser?
17:20
<bakkot>
not explicitly not browser
17:20
<bakkot>
specifically I think of tests as being not-browser (for example)
17:20
<bakkot>
or at least not-production-browser
17:21
<snek>
there are a lot of results for indexedDB.cmp on github
17:22
<snek>
though a good portion of them do actually involve real indexeddb usage
