Reading the JS spec, it seems to me that section "10.4.3 Entering Function
Code" says that all I have to do is set /thisArg/ to /undefined/ to get the
effect we're looking for here. I already have some prose in the HTML spec about
setting ThisBinding in certain cases to use WindowProxy rather than Window.
