[OpenAjaxIDE] Default for <returns> is void?

[Kin Blas]

But the void operator is something you have to call, and it returns
undefined. I don't think you can call "typeof" on an operator?

There is no "Undefined" type, so that would be inconsistent. On the
other hand, there is a void operator that returns undefined and fits our
needs here.

I think we already had this discussion (and I was the one who didn't
know about void at the time)

Hi Kin,
I had misread the ECMA-262 spec. You are right. There is no 'void' data
type, and there is indeed an "Undefined" data type. (Uppercase instead
of lowercase). I believe what we need to do to the spec is:

(1) Say that the lack of a <returns> sub-element is equivalent to
<returns datatype="Undefined"/>
(2) In the description of the 'datatype' attribute, change "void" to
"Undefined"

Why not have it be "undefined" to be consistent with JS since there is
no "void" data type?

Just checking - please tell me if you disagree:

If a <method> does not include a <returns> sub-element, then I assume
that the default is equivalent to:

<method>
...
<returns datatype="void"/>
</method>
