Just a few nitpicks.
Meanwhile, it would be good to wait for feedback from @ljharb and @caridy.
We also need to keep track of tc39/ecma262#2056. At this point I believe it is gonna be merged, but sync is important.

This is Table 8 in ECMA-262 today. It might be easier leaving this as Table 1 or a non number identifier.

This is so that ecmarkup auto‑links <emu-xref href="#table-7" /> in this specification as local links, instead of links to https://tc39.es/ecma262/#table-7.

I see. The id remains with the wrong number.
@tc39/ecma262-editors Is this something we can change in ECMA-262? I mean, having a nominal id rather than numeric?

We could change the legacy ID (and preserve it via an oldid) but it doesn't seem particularly important to change to me.

Well, let's keep the off-by-one then. :)

It doesn't need to be merged for this to land; the dotted intrinsic form landed a long time ago, and is preferred. |

It should be good enough to land, but I'd like @caridy's eyes here, which should happen this week. |
Legacy intrinsic aliases will be removed in tc39/ecma262#2056.
