[blink-dev: FYI]

Lexical declarations ('let' and 'const') are part of ES6. The spec for them
in Editor's draft is stable.

The are available in IE11 [1]. Firefox plans to ship them in 35 (Jan 2015)
[2].

Lexical declarations has been available in V8 under --harmony-scoping flag
for quite some time.
Our current implementation is up-to-date with the latest ES6 spec.

To mitigate possible web-incompatibility, in particular conflicts with
legacy  'const' declarations, we are limiting support for lexical
declarations to strict mode code for now. (Sloppy mode support for lexical
declarations will be done as a distinct language feature process-wise).
