Function declarations in statements

[Brendan Eich]

I've never seen web content that uses a named function expression and  
expects the name to be bound in the variable object of the execution  
context. I don't recall any such bug ever being filed with  
bugzilla.mozilla.org. We always implemented ES3, which says that the  
name binds in an Object instance created to scope the function object  
in its context's scope chain, so that the function can refer to  
itself. Sorry to belabor the obvious for those of you who know ES3.

The IE JScript bug should be fixed. It's just a deviation from the  
standard, as far as I can tell.
