Hi Brendan,
I say 1 trumps 2 for the reason given in the last paragraph: human programmers first, meaning the fat bell curve (sorry, Schemers).
I agree with this; there are all sorts of clever things that implementors can do that don't necessarily need to be exposed as features in the language standard.
However, as Eugene Lazutkin pointed out, is omitting 'this' and 'arguments' a sufficiently compelling improvement to justify introducing a whole new language construct?
In some cases in strict mode 'this' will be undefined instead of being the global object, does this come close enough to omitting 'this' for functions which are not methods?
