248492 - nsISupportsWeakReference.GetWeakReference() should be nsISupportsWeakReference.getWeakReference()

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XPCOM, enhancement)

Description

[timeless]

This doesn't affect c++, but since i'm starting to think about writing js which
uses this, i'd like GetWeakReference to be a well behaved interface member.

I suppose nsIWeakReference.QueryReferent should be open to more discussion.

lxr says no js, xul, or xbl uses either item. google doesn't know of any users
for either.

IMO QueryReferent should stay StudlyCaps.

I'm not sure what I think about changing this after it's frozen, even though
it's only a case-change that won't affect C++ callers: it does show up in the
typelib.

scriptable and frozen.

We should not be looking for reasons NOT to change frozen interfaces. Frozen
means frozen.

I don't see a compelling reason to change this.

frozen means frozen.  WONTFIX
