implicit var declarations.

To support expressions like: https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/benchmarks/crypto.js#L1668 and https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/master/benchmarks/earley-boyer.js#L4677.

What's the difference between these two lines and the below?

"use strict";
a = "b"; // throw ReferrenceError 

Need to be more specific.

Actually we have a bug (global scope in accumulative mode): 1.

// njs
>> var get = () => a;
undefined
>> var set = () => a = 1;
undefined
>> a
ReferenceError: "a" is not defined in shell:1
    at main (native)

>> get() // ok
ReferenceError: "a" is not defined in shell:1
    at anonymous (native)
    at main (native)

>> set() // ok
ReferenceError: "a" is not defined in shell:1
    at anonymous (native)
    at main (native)

>> var a;
undefined
>> a
undefined
>> get() // fail
ReferenceError: "a" is not defined in shell:1
    at anonymous (native)
    at main (native)

>> set() // fail
ReferenceError: "a" is not defined in shell:1
    at anonymous (native)
    at main (native)

2.

//  node --use-strict
> var get = () => a;
undefined
> var set = () => a = 1;
undefined
> a
Thrown:
ReferenceError: a is not defined
> get()
Thrown:
ReferenceError: a is not defined
    at get (repl:1:17)
> set()
Thrown:
ReferenceError: a is not defined
    at set (repl:1:19)
> var a;
undefined
> get()
undefined
> set()
1
> get()
1

3. implicit vars (should be optional IMO)

   // node
   > var get = () => a;
   undefined
   > var set = () => a = 1;
   undefined
   > a
   Thrown:
   ReferenceError: a is not defined
   > get()
   Thrown:
   ReferenceError: a is not defined
   at get (repl:1:17)
   > set()
   1
   > a
   1
   > get()
   1
   >
