That is why
	f() = 1
gives
	1: ReferenceError: f is not defined
while
	f() = 1; function f() { }
generates
	2: SyntaxError: invalid assignment left-hand side
right?

But then I have a question. Since in the second case SyntaxError happens 
during script evaluation, not compilation, why it is still called 
SyntaxError?
