Adding, for instance set_define('SPIDERMONKEY_PROMISE', True) fails with: 0:06.06 js/src> File "./config.status", line 433, in <module> 0:06.06 js/src> "SPIDERMONKEY_PROMISE": true, 0:06.06 js/src> NameError: name 'true' is not defined
The way we're writing config.status means everything we put in the config needs to JSON serialize to valid Python. We could add a special case convert True to '1', or just have set_config or set_define with one argument mean the corresponding value ends up in the config as '1' to make this more convenient to write.
I was thinking adding something like: true, false, null = True, False, None
