 * SUMMARY:  Regression test for bug 83293
 * See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83293
 * and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92942
 *
-* str.replace(strA, strB) == str.replace(new RegExp(strA),strB)
-* See ECMA-262 Section 15.5.4.11 String.prototype.replace
+* ********************   CORRECTION !!!  *****************************
+*
+* When I originally wrote this test, I thought this was true:
+* str.replace(strA, strB) == str.replace(new RegExp(strA),strB).
+* See ECMA-262 Final Draft, 15.5.4.11 String.prototype.replace
+*
+* However, in http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83293
+* Jim Ley points out the ECMA-262 Final Edition changed on this.
+* String.prototype.replace (searchValue, replaceValue), if provided
+* a searchValue that is not a RegExp, is NO LONGER to replace it with
+*
+*                  new RegExp(searchValue)
+* but rather:
+*                  String(searchValue)
+*
+* This puts the replace() method at variance with search() and match(),
+* which continue to follow the RegExp conversion of the Final Draft.
+* It also makes most of this testcase, as originally written, invalid.
