Generally variables are brought into scope by an explicitly appearing
defining occurrence. Two exceptions are the "function" brings into scope
both "this" and "arguments". These remain in scope until shadowed by a
nested "function" or by an explicit definition. Note that "this" can never
be explicitly defined, and "arguments" can only be explicitly defined in
non-strict code.
As of ES6, a variety of other function-defining constructs, like
"function", implicitly bring into scope a new "this" and "argument".
Arrow-functions are not one of these. Within an arrow function, both "this"
and "arguments" are lexically captured from the enclosing context.
Also "super" (implicitly bound in "function", available lexically scoped
in arrow function body).
Still following the rule: arrow functions have no implicit bindings and
do not interfere with lexical scope (other than adding explicit bindings
for their parameters).
