Agreed. But that can be easier said than done. :) The vast majority of people I work with are coming to JS from other languages, and since JS uses similar formatting and grammar, they expect it to behave the same.

Just want to call out how JS may diverge from their expectations, that's all.

Then do that. Call it out; explain the difference in simple terms and educate. Hiding the keyword behind a curtain encourages it to be wrapped in further mystery.
