First, I concede to the empirical evidence disproving my assertion that the
expression was hoisted. I have been shown the light (in a way such that it
has spoken unto mine own understanding) and I now believe. Thanks Geerten.
This is why the paren placement boggles me:
42.toString() // Errorinated
(42).toString() // Successified
(42.toString()) // BELETED
I would expect the same behavior here
function () {} ().toString()
(function () {}).toString()
(function () {}.toString()) // WORKS !?!?!
That's why I find it odd that the placement of the parens is unimportant.
I don't know what the spec says about it, but the behavior appears
inconsistent and therefore unintuitive.
