[Haskell-cafe] ECMA262 (Javascript) interpreter

[Fabian Bergmark]

I based my work on HJS, but realized that it deviated to much from the
specification for me to patch it with the features I want.

Im aware of the test-262 test suit and have used it to do some casual
testing. Before I release my package to hackage I will make sure it
passes
