First off, I'm really glad that "clean" functions are being considered
for ES-Harmony - another step toward hygienic macros!
I read through the strawman:lambdas proposal and saw that it did not
mention anything about |var|, e.g.
(function() {
lambda {
var x = 10;
}();
return x;
})()
Does the |var| within the lambda define a var in the function body, and
does that var declaration hoist to the top of the function body?
