Global functions

[John Resig]

I was under the impression that for the function definitions to be confined to a block scope, you had to define them as such (with let function statements), like so:

package {
    {
        let function fun() {
            print("1");
        }
        fun()
    }
    {
        let function fun() {
            print("2")
        }
        fun()
    }
}

I'm unsure if this currently works in the RI, or not.

Are global functions declared with block or global scope. ie. declared 
in the block object or var object?

Consider:

package {
    {
        function fun() {
            print("1");
        }
        fun()
    }
    {
        function fun() {
            print("2")
        }
        fun()
    }
}


This prints

2
2

in the RI.

So should functions be treated like var declarations or as let 
declarations. Seems like they are like vars in the RI.

Is this right?
