/**
    File Name:          15.3.5.3.js
    ECMA Section:       Function.arguments
    Description:

    The value of the arguments property is normally null if there is no
    outstanding invocation of the function in progress (that is, the
    function has been called but has not yet returned). When a non-internal
    Function object (15.3.2.1) is invoked, its arguments property is
    "dynamically bound" to a newly created object that contains the arguments
    on which it was invoked (see 10.1.6 and 10.1.8). Note that the use of this
    property is discouraged; it is provided principally for compatibility
    with existing old code.

    See sections 10.1.6 and 10.1.8 for more extensive tests.
