So in the new ECMA standard the body decided that when the "this" word
is used at the highest hierarchical level (i.e. when it would normally
be the window object) would be undefined. In using the MooTools
library I have noticed that they invoke all of their IIFEs by tying
the variables to the "this" word instead of passing the window object
to the function and tying the variables into the window object that
way (as JQuery does). My question is: should I be worried? I'm tempted
to go through MooTools when I'm finished building with it for a
particular website and replace the cases where the "this" word is used
for window with an invocation variable that is being passed the window
object, like so: (function(w){ var someVar = w.someVar = function()
{dosomething}})(window);.
