They can, in fact, be scoped in a for loop.

I guess 'cause that cannot be scoped, let's say in a for loop ... but yeah, I think that's not the most needed thing in the language right now, yet another shortcut with double reserved words one after the other

Why not use a function declaration instead?

Propose adding support for

    let function foo() {};

which would have the equivalence of:

    let foo = function foo() {};

The idea is to support the normal scoping of let, but without forcing you to repeat yourself when naming the function, whilst still having the function's name property be set.

This would trivially extend to const and var. Also, possibly class.

Thanks
