I think it shoud raise ReferenceError (in ES5) or SyntaxError (in ES6) in ES5 because of section 16 Errors Attempts to call PutValue on any value for which an early determination can > be made that the value is not a Reference (for example, executing the > assignment statement 3=4). http://code.google.com/p/esprima/issues/detail?id=81 is also interesting resource in ES6 because of section 11.13 Assignment Operators http://people.mozilla.org/~jorendorff/es6-draft.html#sec-11.13 Static Semantics: Early Errors Because example expression isn't Identifier, ArrayPattern or ObjectPattern, so early Syntax Error should be raised. If I missed something, please point out.
