hit <Enter> a little bit too early... 
According to the Ecmascript spec (section 10.1.3) locally declared functions 
should take precedence over parameters. 

Comment 2

Attachment: test-case, where a parameter takes precedence over a locally declared function.

the test-case should print the function, and not the parameter.

Attachment: simple fix: override hidden arg with local var for JSOP_DEFLOCALFUN

This leaves the argv slot inaccessible, but it's a hard case, and who cares in
light of the code size savings of this approach, as opposed to adding some
variant of JSOP_DEFLOCALFUN that uses a fp->argv instead of fp->vars slot.

Self-approving, this is a straightforward spot-fix.

[Brendan Eich [:brendan]]

Only record of it was in CVS, on bonsai from tinderbox.  I got a "you're off the
hook" tree open email, and checked in.  Chase asked me to back out, cuz he had
to respin a few builds from the trunk.

Reopening so everyone can see the fixes go in again tomorrow.
