This harness function is not necessary in the majority of cases in which
it is used. Remove its usage to simplify tests and decrease the amount
of domain-specific knowledge necessary to contribute to the test suite.
Persist the harness function itself for use by future tests for ES2015
modules (such a helper is necessary for tests that are interpreted as
module code).
- Add missing 'negative: ReferenceError' in S7.9_A5.7_T1
- Remove stale 'negative: ReferenceError' in block-local-closure-get-before-initialization
- Remove all tail-call expressions in test/built-ins/Function
- And update code in test/built-ins/Function to simply use 'f()' instead of 'var r = f(); return r'
Fixes#383
The `negative` frontmatter tag expresses an expectation for the behavior
of the test file as a whole. The `assert.throws` helper function offers
more fine-grained control over expectations because it may be applied to
specific statements and expressions. This makes it preferable in cases
where it may be used (i.e. when the test body does not describe a syntax
error or early error).
Re-implement assertions for errors to use the `assert.throws` helper
function wherever possible.
