In JScript Variable Instantiation, identifiers from catch blocks and
FunctionExpressions are added to the VO.
javascript: alert(f); +function f(){};
javascript: alert(xx); try{}catch(xx){}
Its been discussed on c.l.js on es-discuss, though I can't recall
thread names ATM.
MS JScript documentation "MS-ES3" explains JScript's deviation to
Variable Instantiation. That document is linked from:
