JavaScript "strict-mode" options for easier debugging

A strict-mode could include such features as:
1. require 'var' for local variables (implicit globals cause warnings)
2. getting/setting custom properties on built-in types (catches things like for
(var x = 0; x < myarray.size; x++) -- here Array.size does not exist, yet x <
undefined is always false and silently fails)
I imagine others might have additional suggestions.

IMO these type of features could really set our javascript debugger apart from
the pack.
