However, what if there is no enclosing function? Shouldn't this say
"enclosing environment"?
If yes, what would be the expected behavior of an arrow function that
references `this` and `arguments`?
I assume in case of `this`, it would just resolve to the *thisBinding*
of the environment (if there is one). Since there is no `arguments`
binding (by default) I assume accessing `arguments` would throw a
reference error.
Is my understanding correct?
