"use strict" doesn't avoid receiving the global object.
For function calls in strict code, "use strict" says the `this` value
is supplied by the caller, but if it isn't, the `this` value is
undefined.
The caller of the callback your example below was setTimeout. Method
setTimeout maintains a reference to the window and calls callback
function, `a`, with the window as the thisValue.
setTimeout(
function a() {
console.log(this);
},
1);
