title: Is it safe to declare a delete method in JavaScript
body: <p>So the question is simply, if it's safe (wise) to declare <em>method</em> called "delete" in JavaScript. Example:</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var request = {
      delete : function (url) {
          // Some code...
      }
  }
  request.delete('http://page.dev/users/1');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tested this in Firefox and it's functional, but just wondering if it could cause problems in some other browsers; or in general if is it a good practice.</p>
