Block Scoping Functions example context

[Peter van der Zee]

It'd technically be more like (function(){ ... }.call(this)). And some care of course taken in the arguments department, but that's not so trivial to change without touching the actual code as well.

[Stuart P. Bentley]

You could also use the hack that transpilers like Babel use:

try {throw true} catch {
  // lexically-scoped block
}
