:-)  I was already mulling why "this" used as procedure argument name would
not be automatically flagged for wrong usage in such a case.  So yesterday I
did actually check to see if I could use that way.  And what-da-ya-know, I
got an error.

And I dumbly assumed that those two (and others like it) would cause the
same error to be thrown. :-(

Thanks for the heads up.   It looks like that my "don't re-use global names"
stance does cut some wood after all.

And by the way:  I noticed that, in an event listener callback of mine,
"this" referred the actual element it was fired from, giving me the
impression it might even been silently supplied to the callback.  Not sure
if this is true or how to verify it though.
