Temporal.now.calendar() ?

[justingrant]

My understanding from previous discussions was that we'd decided not to offer a Temporal.now.calendar() because the default calendar wasn't something we could reliably obtain in JavaScript and/or because we felt that the default calendar wouldn't actually represent the user's intent reliably enough. But after this morning's discussion now I'm not sure because there was an assumption that we could use a default locallized calendar in toLocaleString.

Did something change? Or am I misunderstanding the reason why we're not offering Temporal.now.calendar()?

+1. This is a way for us to expose the identity of the environment-sensitive calendar without relying only on Intl.

I was imagining that we would focus on exposing the locale through the navigator.locales proposal on the HTML side. Do we need both interfaces?

Meeting, Sept. 18: Due to the concern of "calendar from the locale" not being a reliable or mature way to express the user's actual preference, we will not have this method. See #292.
