function-in-block does not have the same semantics as the proposed "let
function". It hoists, thus has no TDZ, and appears to preclude a reasonable
decorator syntax behaviour, and it has no provisions for const binding,
i.e. "const function".

    let f(x) => y

appears attractive indeed, but by virtue of it being an arrow function, has
lexical this and no prototype property. Also no generator syntax, unless
I'm missing something?
