What it doesn't state is why. I mean, the `delay` command is right there
in the dictionary, same place as it's been for the last 20 years. It's
just that JXA has randomly decreed it shall reject all requests to use
it. (BTW, Deivy, you should also ignore `make` and `count` commands'
dictionary definitions as that's rendered worthless too by JXA's
insistence on lying to its users.[1])
But then, there is very little clarity, consistency, or plain basic
logic to JXA APIs. It's like someone took all the real APIs and just did
some Bill Burroughs-style cut up on them just because. These were all
solved problems 20 years ago, so why does this AppleScript team keep
UNsolving them again?

is because it LIES to them; ergo the right solution is almost certainly
NOT "Lie Even Harder".)
