Excellent. (I had thought these were only disallowed in strict mode,
based on MarkM's comment at
<http://groups.google.com/group/google-caja-discuss/browse_thread/thread/ca99f5af671a7dc1/7121d2e6d732f0fc#7121d2e6d732f0fc>,
but disallowing them unconditionally is even better IMHO.)
So why are we arguing about whether lambdas should be allowed without
braces, when the direction being taken for the rest of the language
is to make the braces mandatory around all forms that can potentially
declare variables?
