+/**
+ * File Name: function-001.js
+ * Description:
+ *
+ * http://scopus.mcom.com/bugsplat/show_bug.cgi?id=324455
+ *
+ * Earlier versions of JavaScript supported access to the arguments property
+ * of the function object. This property held the arguments to the function.
+ * function f() {
+ * return f.arguments[0]; // deprecated
+ * }
+ * var x = f(3); // x will be 3
+ *
+ * This feature is not a part of the final ECMA standard. Instead, scripts
+ * should simply use just "arguments":
+ *
+ * function f() {
+ * return arguments[0]; // okay
+ * }
+ *
+ * var x = f(3); // x will be 3
+ *
+ * Again, this feature was motivated by performance concerns. Access to the
+ * arguments property is not threadsafe, which is of particular concern in
+ * server environments. Also, the compiler can generate better code for
+ * functions because it can tell when the arguments are being accessed only by
+ * name and avoid setting up the arguments object.
