I think this post has gone way off course, and yet there really isn't
any disagreement among us; it's mostly imprecision in language giving
rise to ambiguity :P
My apologies to lovespring for making a simple question require so
much scolling :)
So to try and bring this back to the OP:
1.does it
" x=3; // This does _not_ change the global x!"
No, it doesn't change the global, because it's declared with var in
the function first, so x in the function isn't global, it's lexically
scoped to the function; x in the inner function is lexically scoped to
the containing function (x within the ou

Yes. Isn't that what I said?
