7.1 says function expressions are always unnamed, but this changed in ES6 #794

@Arnavion

Description

@Arnavion

7.1 contains this statement:

Function declarations are named, so they're easier to identify in call stacks.

Anonymous function expressions assigned to a binding are also named, per ES6 semantics (1.e.iii). That is, the "bad" example const foo = function () { }; is the same as const foo = function foo() { };, which is equivalent to the "good" example function foo() { } in that respect.

Should the statement be qualified that it's only a distinction for ES5 and below ?
