+   File Name:          12.2-1.js
+   ECMA Section:       The variable statement
+   Description:
+
+   If the variable statement occurs inside a FunctionDeclaration, the
+   variables are defined with function-local scope in that function, as
+   described in section 10.1.3. Otherwise, they are defined with global
+   scope, that is, they are created as members of the global object, as
+   described in section 0. Variables are created when the execution scope
+   is entered. A Block does not define a new execution scope. Only Program and
+   FunctionDeclaration produce a new scope. Variables are initialized to the
+   undefined value when created. A variable with an Initializer is assigned
+   the value of its AssignmentExpression when the VariableStatement is executed,
+   not when the variable is created.
