properties in an object literal that contain functions are not always highlighted as a function

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Consider the following code:

function generateQI(iids)
{
    return function(iid)
    {
        // …
    };
}

var obj = {
    foo: function() { },
    QueryInterface: generateQI([iface1, iface2])
};

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected outcome is that both property names 'foo' and 'QueryInterface'
are styled using font-lock-function-name-face. Instead 'QueryInterface' is
using font-lock-variable-name-face.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Emacs 22.0.60.2, js2-20080413.el

Please provide any additional information below.

This example is drawn from common usage in the Firefox codebase, but
obviously it could occur anywhere.

This is unlikely to be fixed any time soon, as it requires flow-graph analysis 
not
currently present in js2-mode (except for the inconsistent return-usage stuff 
that I
borrowed from Rhino.)
