`for (let x of x)` doesn't work in next+1 branch

[andy-hanson]

This code:

let x = [ 1, 2, 3 ]
for (let x of x)
    console.log(x)

works in iojs 2.4.0, but not in the branch next+1 (commit a6b6295).
Now it fails with:

ReferenceError: x is not defined

I suppose that's v8, and that looks like a fixed version of let implementation, not a bug.

It was wrong before (in iojs 2.4.0, due to v8), now it's good (was fixed in the new v8 version that got into next+1).

Btw, it's nice that that was finally fixed in v8 =).
Relevant mozilla bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1069480

As a note: this is technically a backwards-incompatible change on the v8 side.
But evertything is perfectly fine as long as the update to v8 4.5 happens in a major release of node.
