Although this patch is not small, most parts of it are rather mechanical: * First of all, the concept of a 'nil-like' value is introduced, which can be null or undefined. They are treated symmetrically regarding comparisons, so it makes sense to handle them in a uniform manner. It is a mystery why JavaScript defines two of those beasts, when even *one* is a design wart... * Extended and renamed a few things which now handle undefined in addition to null. * Made the parts of the full code generator and the hydrogen generation which deal with comparisons a bit more similar regarding their handling of special cases. * Refactored the syntactical detection of special cases for comparisons, hopefully making them a bit more readable and less copy-n-paste-oriented. Things like this should really be a one-liner in any sane programming language... :-P * Cut down the length of the argument lists of a few functions to something less insane, making them more easily understandable locally. This involves minor code duplication, but this was a good tradeoff and can be remedied later if necessary. * Replaced some boolean arguments with more readable enums. * Fixed a TODO: Values which are definitely a Smi or unboxed can never be equal to null or undefined.
