- A function body or class static block treats its top-level function
declarations as var-scoped: duplicates are legal in strict code, and a
let/const/class of the same name is SC0006.
- Strictness is the code around a node: a function declaration's own
"use strict" no longer makes its declaring context strict.
- Every part of a class is strict; object literal methods and accessors
are strict only by their own prologue or their surroundings, and an
arrow function's block body can carry "use strict".
- The bare compareArray reads b.length, then a.length, and a.length again
before every element pair, converting it as the upstream `i < a.length`
does, so a string length compares its elements.
- Tests that relied on the old handling of undeclared names now use
constructs that are still refused or still compile: the installed-entry
diagnostics fixture reports a syntax error (a read of an undeclared name
is now Node's run-time ReferenceError), and static-objects-order's
loops.js stores from its for-in head into `undefined` instead of an
undeclared name (a store into an undeclared name refuses its package with
SC1091).
A `for (k in o)` or `for (k of a)` whose head is an expression stores into
it on every iteration. The strict-mode check of constructor and method
bodies now treats such a head like the target of `=`: a property store
not made through `this`, a store into a read-only global, and a store into
an undeclared name keep the constructor function, since sloppy mode drops
or completes those stores where a class body throws.
The static-objects-order fixture gains loops.js, whose methods store from
a for-in head into an undeclared name and from a for-of head into a
property of a string.
