 * SUMMARY:  Functions are scoped statically, not dynamically
 *
 * See ECMA Section 10.1.4 Scope Chain and Identifier Resolution
 * (This section defines the scope chain of an execution context)
 *
 * See ECMA Section 12.10 The with Statement
 *
 * See ECMA Section 13 Function Definition
 * (This section defines the scope chain of a function object as that
 *  of the running execution context when the function was declared)
 *
 * Like scope-001.js, but using assignment var f = function expression
 * instead of a function declaration: function f() {} etc.
