You have been told this before: You need to *cite* your references, and to 
*quote* the substantiating statements.  So, which book, by whom, what do 
“usually” and “enclosed variable” mean, which ECMAScript implementation(s) 
is/are being referred to, and what reason is being given?  Without that, the 
information you give above is worthless.  Put rather explicitly:

  “Opinions are like assholes, everybody’s got one.”
    – Larry Flynt (in: “The People vs. Larry Flynt”, Sony Pictures, 1996)

Since this field is ripe with people overconfident in their technical 
understanding due to early success (JavaScript intentionally looks simple), 
there are more bad books than good books on the topic, which is why the FAQs 
so far contain no explicit recommendations by the regulars of this 
newsgroup.

| Not with javascript. Nonsense propagates like wildfire in this field.

As a result, relying on books, in particular relying on only one book or 
only one author on the topic, is a recipe for disaster.
