I think there is additional overhead in calling an anonymous function (i.e., your 'var foo:Function = ' case).
And I don't think that the rules for what 'this' is, when the function executes, are the same.

I assume you can call Bar.foo() in both cases, and foo shows up as a variable in describeType() in the second instance? Are there other details I'm not aware of?
