   Confirmed. Ran x = ["b" "a" "c"] then x.sort(), and "a".localeCompare("b"): both print Runtime error: error.NotCallable with no file, line or method name. The located "is not callable" error (fixed 14 Sep) covers x() only, not an unknown method on a list or string. Neither sort nor localeCompare is in the core method tables (hybriel api --core). Whether to add them is the creator's call.

   Fixed on branch ticket-lang (53f8215a): an unknown method is now a located error that names it, e.g. "'sort' is not a method of Hybrid" with file, line and caret. Test:

   1. Build branch ticket-lang, run x = ["b" "a" "c"] then console.log(x.sort()).
   2. Same for console.log("a".localeCompare("b")): "'localeCompare' is not a method of String". Details: sort and localeCompare are not added (your call). The JS target still answers both with JS's own methods.

   Fixed and merged on master; how to test is in the comment above.
