Yeah it's a complete nonsense stance. Another one for me: Crockford
enforces that doing:
for (var i=0,l=foo.length; i<l; i++) {
...
}
is a bad thing (the "var" declaration) and not allowed (and not
configurable/switchable). I totally understand that the variables aren't
technically scoped there by the virtual machine running the javascript, I
don't care, because Javascript is written for humans, and that's where it
is scoped for me, the programmer. Let me do it anyway!
