No, it isn't. It's a `SyntaxError: Unexpected token {`. There's a big
difference between `myFn() { }` and `myFn = function() { };` The latter is
valid syntax for the horror of implicit globals (in loose mode; strict mode
fixed it). The former is just a syntax error. (It would be valid method
syntax if it were inside an object initializer or `class`.)
But AFAIK, Brian Blakely wasn't promoting that syntax anyway. His original
post only ever uses this shorthand with `export`, so I think it was meant
to be specific to exporting.
