Hi John,
Your particular syntactic choice looks clever, but as is often the case, it
fails because of semicolon insertion. The following works today on any ES5
system:
> function foo() { > return this.function() > { > console.log('oops'); > };
> }
> foo.call({function: function(){return 'gotcha';}});
