I always forget that fast natives don't enforce minargs.

Fix

That's why I initially made JSFastNatives enforce minargs -- phear of phorgetting (myself or anyone, really).

No good way to automate assertion-based checking, alas. Maybe a static analysis?

Here's an automated test for whenever we check in automated tests for security bugs.

Surely it's not necessary for a bug that was only in place for a bare handful of days?  One thing if it made it into a release (full, alpha, beta, RC), at which point I think you wait through the first fixed release before adding, but a run-of-the-mill nightly is a completely different thing.
You don't think it's necessary to check in a regression test for a bug that we only had briefly?  I don't think it matters whether we caught it quickly the first time; we don't want to have to worry about *not* catching it if we regress it later on branch or trunk.
That was in response to comment 5's "for whenever we check in automated tests for security bugs", which I was arguing should be immediately (or at best no longer than a week later) for a bug present for so short a time in nightlies only.
Ah, sorry, didn't understand the antecedent of "it".  Agreed, get it landed if we confirm that it doesn't affect any releases.
Regression test is ok, but it'll probably never fail again -- whereas there could be other fast natives that fall into the no-minargs trap -- or already have. Thus the static analysis hope. Jason, any thoughts?
