functionName.arguments is a deprecated feature of JS since it is 
supposed that ECMAScript-compliant arguments is used instead to access 
arguments object of the current function.

Rhino supports functionName.arguments but only for the current function, 
so you can not access arguments object of the callee from the caller.
