We don't know what name has 'global' (ie var global=this, var
window=this, etc)
This is what I tried to figure out here among others :
https://gist.github.com/2995641 ("automatic" global.global=global,
window.window=window), maybe impossible, unlikely, or whatever
I don't know well about this CSP proposal but it seems strange to me
everytime something states that 'eval' is forbidden or stuff like this,
a 'wrap' or equivalent would be better

I'm not sure what the problem is -- I read the old thread, and

solution:
var global = Function("return this")();
This is good for any code mode, strict or non-strict. Does CSP ban
Function
as well as eval?
CSP does forbid the Function constructor, by the edict “Code will not
be created from strings”.
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSP/ Section 4.2 “If unsafe-eval is not allowed…”
Sure, makes sense (I think I even knew that once -- have to catch up
on CSP when I have some time, next millennium :-P).
Is it common to want an expression, usable in any context (non-strict,
strict, CSP, deep in a function nest with potentially many names in
scope, some of which might shadow globals), that evaluates to "the
current global object"?
JS libraries do things like
(funciton (global) {
// all the code here
})(this);
and that works, as well as the brute force
var global = this;
approach. But one must take care not to shadow the name.
Could ES6 add a predefined global property named 'global', set to
reference the global object? I suppose maybe - it would be writable or
(to use WebIDL's term) [Replaceable]. We can't just make a const
global, we will break extant code.
Is this global global important to standardize?
