It produces the intended result without error in all major browsers.

The author his code is likely meant for browsers.
This means that talking about implementations of ECMAScript in general
might not be as relevant to him as talking about Javascript as implemented
in the major browsers is.

He edited my code to pass 1 argument instead of 2 which made me think that
he changed his mind and now only wanted to pass 1 argument instead of 2.
And since we do not know what he wants to do with this (newFN seems to
be a mere placeholder for testing purposes) it really is not that obvious what
he wants.
