Another issue has come up while experimenting with SpiderMonkey.
I followed the instructions for a new runtime, context and global
class and am now trying to execute JavaScript via
JS_EvaluateScript or JS_CompileScript+JS_ExecuteScript.
This works fine, except for one thing: user-defined functions in JavaScript.

See the following line of code:
     function f(a) { return a+3; } f(4);
This returns "Reference Error: a is not defined"

Why this? The same code in jsshell properly returns 7 as expected.
