I hope we can still have "global" in Harmony. It is ugly to have to do:
const global = this;
and rely on that no one moves that code into a closure with a different "this".
Dave, I really like the lexical scope proposal. However, I do find
the sections regarding the global a bit confusing. Are the following
assumptions correct?
this.print = function(s) { ... };
{
use lexical scope;
this.print('OK');
print('FAIL');
}
