My same thoughts on "break the web" ... I think whoever put "use strict" in
there would eventually never expect the `this` to be the global context.
@Michał Wadas ... you haven't proved much in there ... you should look at
global methods more like this:
```js
// your global context to be executed
with({
get window() {return this},
setTimeout: function () { ... },
alert: function () { ... },
// all other window methods
}) {
setTimeout('alert("hello world")');
}
```
The fact is a `window` method, whatever window it is and of course an
iframe will have its own, does not mean every method is automatically bound
+ even if that was the case, what you pass in there is a user defined
function, not a windows method.
I think this is an issue I am not sure how come it didn't bite already out
there ... but I also understand that putting together everyone to fix this
seems utopia so ... watch out your bounds or you might leak or change the
global context by accident where "use strict" will not save you.
Best Regards
