As a follow up, the following somewhat surprised me.
{
let b = 1
{
function fun() {
print("CALL: " + b)
}
}
}
fun()
gives:
**ERROR** EvalError: uncaught exception: ReferenceError: unresolved
lexical reference {multiname: [ns public '']::b [ns internal '']::b
[ns public '__ES4__']::b } (near /Users/dherman/es4/src/builtins/
Error.es:86:55-86.55)
ie. the function is hoisted to the outer var block, but does not seem
to capture the scope chain of where it was declared and b is out of
scope.
Is this correct or an RI bug?
