Currently, JSSC also doesn't bother checking whether names in a namelist are valid LHS expressions.
However, for <assign>, what I do is essentially what you suggest. I save the original value in a temporary variable, then try{ eval("LHS = value") } catch(error){ if(error instanceOf ReferenceError) … }
and that's how I'll probably do it for this test. Try to assign some value (doesn't matter what) and catch ReferenceError, then reassign the original value and proceed (but since you have greater control over the ECMAScript runtime you can stop at parsing which is even better).
