What about "conditional function definition"?
E.g.:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Functions_and_function_scope#Conditionally_defining_a_function
or Oliver's comments here:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27226#c5
It seems like a valid use case that needs an answer. The answer might
be, "just use declarations, assignments, and function expressions";
dunno.

Andy
