So it can be statically checked in all those cases. In sloppy mode, you're on your own as usual. The only potential problem I can foresee with that is the current strict mode loop hole with indirect 'eval' in combination with const declarations in the global scope, depending on how exactly we will decide on global scope semantics. (That is, we should try to find a semantics that maintains the above invariant.) /Andreas
