This package implements the es-shim API interface. It works in an ES3-supported environment and complies with the spec.
Where this is needed
In particular, Edge 15-18, and the equivalent versions of ChakraCore, have a rounding bug that this package fixes. If you are not concerned with supporting these engines, there is no need to use this package.
ES2018 increased the maximum range from 20 to 100. This package does not attempt to patch this difference.
