           Summary: ES6: Reusing function name as a parameter name
                    shouldn't throw Syntax Error

According to the ES6 spec, <http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-function-definitions-static-semantics-early-errors>, reusing the function name of a function as a parameter name should not throw a Syntax Error.  This is was pointed out on the es-discuss mailing list <https://esdiscuss.org/topic/can-strict-parameters-shadow-strict-function-names>, specifically how we differ from V8 and SpiderMonkey.
