Clarify polyfill adds no globals #115

Open EisenbergEffect opened 5 months ago

EisenbergEffect commented 5 months ago

We should add some additional text in the polyfill readme to indicate that it doesn't affect globals like a "true" polyfill might.

I don't know how "official" this name is but I think those kinds of polyfills are usually called "ponyfills", fwiw.

EisenbergEffect commented 5 months ago

Yes, that's my understanding as well.

We had a community member publish the package. We weren't quite ready for that. So...that name is out there. We could rename it or just keep it as is with a note in the readme.

I don’t see the point in using a term besides polyfill for this.

EisenbergEffect commented 5 months ago

Let's start by adding a note to the readme. If we see further confusion, then we can probably address that at that time.
