All those fail.

It's not a biggie, but it was rather annoying that code which I had tested
and was working fine in the js shell, using load("filename.js"), didn't work
when I put it into a map. After some cutting and pasting it turned out that
'var' was the culprit.
Even this doesn't work at the top level in a map definition:
bar = [...];
for (var i in bar) { ... }
^^^^^
To avoid a global index variable 'i' I ended up doing this:
bar = [...];
(function() {
for (var i in bar) ...
})();
