If you use `var`, the variable is hoisted to the top-level scope 
of the function, so this behavior is then expected.

Use the `let` keyword for a local lexically scope thing, and then 
you'll see the cb behavior is different.

Since D's scoping is more like `let` than `var`, JS is a point in 
favor of it being a bug.

(though JS's pattern to make it work anyway is what I also do in 
D today. It isn't that big of a deal.... though the fact the 
`immutable` is a lie there is what convinces me it is a bug 
anyway.)
