Description

Jisp uses a few methods that may not be supported in older JavaScript environments like IE8. Examples include Array.prototype.indexOf, Array.prototype.reduce, and probably a few others. There needs to be a compiler capability, with a compiler option (default off? definitely off in the REPL), to include polyfill for this stuff into the compiled source.

Research direction

Start by locating the compiler and REPL option handling, then inventory the unsupported JavaScript methods mentioned in the issue. Done means the compiler can optionally include polyfills in compiled output, with the option disabled by default and in the REPL.
