Property Objects: "default" shouldn't be default: reserved ECMAScript keyword. about dstore HOT 2 CLOSED

Just to be clear, there is a difference between an identifier and a property, as your first link explains. As far as the toolchain, the second link actually explains how tools like JSLint and mitigate and help avoid any issues with this. But ultimately this is a legacy issue, ES5 declared reserved keywords as acceptable as properties, so all modern browsers support object.default, and only IE8 and earlier don't, which have a very limited life anyway.

That being said, I have been pondering the idea of having configurable property names for the properties with intrinsic meaning (so you could do something like Model.default = "initWith") to reconfigure dstore to use your favored property name.

I want to add, that the same person in the first link still stated, that a property name without quotes had not not to be a keyword (besides the identifer / property name clarification). Anyway, the takeaway message is that those discussions are outdated. That makes me feel a little more comfortable now ;-) Thanks for your reply.
