Excellent questions! I was convinced this is correct in all cases, and that in fact with statements are the only occurrence of such FindProperties. But your remark made me check this and indeed the same pattern occurs for global lexical declarations in Global.LexicalScope, and in that case this behavior is not desired. Although I wasn’t able to reproduce this with lexical bindings, I’ll have to do something to make sure functions are only bound when they’re meant to.
Thanks,
Hannes
