function expression

function expression
factit = function factorial(n) {
    console.log(n)
    if (n < 2) {
      return 1;
    }
    return n * factorial(n - 1);
}

non_recursive = function(){}

/*
can't visit factorial here:
as is indicated in `Runtime Semantics: Evaluation` of NAMED function expression,
we will NewDeclarativeEnvironment(scope) as a middle env to recv factorial

from ecma:
The BindingIdentifier in a FunctionExpression can be referenced
 from inside the FunctionExpression's
FunctionBody to allow the function to call itself recursively.

However, unlike in a FunctionDeclaration, the BindingIdentifier in
a FunctionExpression cannot be referenced from and does
not affect the scope enclosing the FunctionExpression.
