Function.prototype.toString

Current spec says it must return a string representation that has the syntax of a FunctionDeclaration.

Problem is that implementations don't do that with anonymous functions.

Proposal to have it return a string representation that has the syntax of a Function Definition (basically legalizes existing behavior in a harmless way).

This was discuss several months ago and and a final decision was made to not address it in the ES5.
